what is the last thing you developed or printed

Developed 3 rolls of hp5 120 (exposed last year) earlier today. Just now came out of the darkroom (first time in 2015!) after working on a print. Things are still dialled in tight: you can see my one test strip, and the three 8x10's with different burn and dodge patterns/times.

dont' have to post an image, just what was the material
( film or paper ) and what was the developer and how ( what way ) was it processed.

i just processed 8 rolls of film ( kodak, neopan, ilford )
and i processed them in hand tanks ( 4 to a tank ) 4 mins ansco 130 1:9 ish 5 mins in caffenol 130 ...

haven't made prints since june/early july ...

Two prints, one of my now deceased cat on Ilford MG IV FB (recently acquired ~100 sheets very cheaply) and one high contrast image taken in Porto, Portugal in January while there on a business trip. The first print was low-key and easy to print and will probably do well with some sepia toning at some point. It made me question of why I use anything else but T-MAX 400 and Rodinal...

The second print was...well I'm not there yet. Pre-flash, grade 1 and some heavy-isch burn-ins but not ready but pretty close. I will probably make a few masks to ease the burn-ins for the next print as I'd like to print it on FB paper as well.

I've finally arrived at the point where my negatives are too contrasty rather than the other way around, the new condenser head finally did it

A roll of acros from recent vacation. I haven't made a "cockle shell" for a while but I heard a crinkle sound when I was loading this... fortunately it appears to be on the rebate edge outside the image. Two photos I am particularly looking forward to printing are on this roll and they look good.

MrBrowning · Aug 16, 2015

Tonight I lith printed 6 negatives from my trip to the white mountains. I have just enough Arista lith for one more print session and then I'm on to the Moersch Lith kit I have. If all works out I'll be able to finish printing the negatives I'm really interested in tomorrow night.

I just developed a roll of ADOX (Efke) CHS50 @100. Rodinal 1:33 for 11:30.
Half way through shooting it I had remembered why I've still got most of the rolls I bought in the 'fridge - it was the last batch out of the Fotokemika factory and the PET base is full of blobs and bubbles.
Then I had a chapter of clumsy disasters loading the damn tank, one of which included that most delightful of experiences, scooping up a tangled roll of 36 exposures from the bathroom floor in total darkness.
So it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
I presume that the frame that would - of course - otherwise make my fame and fortune will be the one with the most blobs, embedded dust from the rug and of course a big thick scratch through the emulsion ...

Just go with: I meant to do that. It's my Art.

DWThomas · Aug 16, 2015

Developed a home-spooled 20 exp of Panatomic-X out of my Argus C-3 and a 36 exp Minox roll of Delta 100, both finished off during Argus Day yesterday. My plans to scan them were interrupted by my scanner making noises like a rock crusher and producing images looking like an analog TV with horizontal sync problems.

Just about every project (even mowing the yard) has gone that way this month -- truly "the dog days of summer!"

Just (successfully) processed my third roll of HP5+ (@800ASA), my third roll at all - hopefully containing some subrealistic photographs of the city I live in. Thanks to one of the stickies here I even got rid of the magenta/pink stain. Due to the very, very slow working fixer I use it just took some more time. Can't wait to give the negatives a scan, but as in cooking the most important ingredient is time, it seems.

greetings,
all the best,
Brian

+1 on that. Don't forget to use lots of words like 'deconstruct', 'paradigm' and 'trope' while you're at it....

Fomapan 100 4x5

TheFlyingCamera · Aug 19, 2015

I think it was five rolls of FP4+, two Tri-X, 8 rolls of C-41 and a roll of Bergger BPF200. That last roll was something I had sitting around for years unprocessed. I had put it through a Kodak Autographic to test (I THINK that's what I used for it). Anyway, seriously heat-fogged, who knows if there really is anything useable on the roll.

Hi Rick,
I've got a box of Fomapan sheet film but haven't tried it yet.
How did you like the Fomapan as sheet film? And how did you develop: tray or tank?
Thanks,
Bert from Holland

Ko.Fe. · Aug 19, 2015

Yesterday I was practicing with my first bw minox 8x11 film under enlarger. More practice and appropriate film holder are needed.

I've been through 100 sheets of it, plus a couple dozen rolls of 120. I develop in PMK pyro, water stop and EcoPro Neutral fix. I have done taco style processing, I'm back to rotary now. It's a bit contrasty, but suits my style. I have it in both Foma and Arista labels, I just opened a fresh 50 sheet box of Arista 4x5. Guess you could call it my favorite film. This is a scan of 8x10 print.

DWThomas · Aug 22, 2015

Developed two 120 rolls of PX125 ("sniff!" not many left) HC110 1+63. Started to reach for some FP-4, but these were older, might as well use 'em.

Oscar Carlsson · Aug 22, 2015

Two prints, 7,5" square from medium format negatives. One was quick and easy on RC paper, done while waiting on the washer with the other print.

The other print was on Ilford MG IV FB with a high contrast negative (I'm using a condensor enlarger to make this even better). Pre-flash, grade 0, one burn in mask and more burning in with a card. Looks decent enough.

I've also prepared a few prints for a toner test. First print was toned for 10 minutes , second 20 and the third for 30 minutes in selenium 1+20. Next step is to bleach them and see what time in this concentration of selenium which will protect the print enough.

Pretty productive night.
