what is the last thing you developed or printed

Some portraits from the 1960s. A colleague found some old b&w negs that they didn't have the ability to scan or work with, and asked me if I could help out. I made four 6x9" prints yesterday, and they turned out very nice. I used an expired box of Ilford Galerie G3 that has lost some contrast, because the negatives were of very high contrast.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice the prints turned out.

Nice! Can you share an example?

A portrait of a friend and his daughter. Apologizes for the phone crapy picture.

I wish! I didn't keep any copies for myself.

I did a quick cyanotype on some beautiful heavy handmade paper today.

The texture is quite strong, but in the hand it looks much less obtrusive than it appears in a scan, and in fact rather enhances the image.

This was done with a small swatch so it isn't the whole the negative, but I liked the result so much I ordered some sheets.

I'll try it for salt prints too but I suspect the texture will be too heavy for what I want from that.

"perfect" for cyano tho' ...

Two rolls of RPX100 and one RPX400 in HC110. Halfway through the development I realized that 94 ml of HC110 is not dilution B but A, so the negatives were a bit overdeveloped (which has fine for the roll of RPX400) but they looked printable.

I like it and would love to see the real print live - and also the salt prints.

a rash when reading this type of question on APUG

You could always start a thread that's more to your taste Ralph, rather than cluttering up this one

Nine 10x8 paper negatives (MGIVRC glossy) from a sort-of-documentation-thing I did of a performance-art event. Mixture of pinhole and lensed cameras.
They look OK - not very interesting perhaps, but technically good enough to get a scan off. Less sure of how they'll print.

Still got 2 rolls of 120 from a pinhole (zoneplate actually) camera and a roll of Neopan 1600 in 135 from the same event to develop. Bit worried about the 120.

Took this over the Memorial Weekend, backpacking in the Trinity Alps (CA). A quick shot of the 2 1/4 negative on the light table, then inverted. Approximately what it will look like as a platinum print -- only the print will be sharper, have better tonality and be better presented...lol! And of course, a lot smaller!

"Nice camera! I used to shoot weddings with that."

"Back in the day, huh," I reply, smiling. Then turn the corner. To where the guy with the garage with the Triumph in the bay lives. There's usually a friend or two of his there, their stuff parked out on the street... and there is today.

I walk up to the Shelby and take a meter reading. Then step backwards until the 80 Planar can see the whole car. The man steps around to my side and smiles and we start chatting about cars and bikes. I keep staring down at the ground glass on the Hasselblad as we talk. That lovely little window to the world that I so love.

Picture shot on Sunday. Film developed on Monday. Tmax 100 rated at 50. Rodinal 1:75. Have a print for the fellow that I'll drop off this weekend.

Nothing yet. Im still waiting on a developing tank to be in stock at my camera store. Apparently the store doesnt stock single reel tanks so i had to "special order" it. Its been over a month now.... i do hope it comes in the next week...

What type of tank and reel?

You can use two reel tanks to develop a single film, without using any extra chemicals. You just need to either keep the single reel at the bottom using a clip, or add an empty reel on top.

It is a basic stainless steel tank. I know i can use a 2 reel tank with only one film but i dont need a 2 reel tank. A single reel tank will do just fine.

A good way to avoid the temptation of larger formats .

If you were local, I would happily give you one!

Roll of neo1600 135 in d23. Hanging now.

Last night I made "formal" contact prints of two 8x10 shots from Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. With any luck I will get them matted and framed in time to deliver on Monday for an exhibition my local art club has going over the summer.

Just developed a roll of HP5 that I took at the car show I had my classic car at today
