steve kessel Posted October 10, 2012 Share #2  Posted October 10, 2012 Hi Sule Very interesting. I particularly like the 1st and 2nd.  Best wishes  Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted October 10, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted October 10, 2012 These pictures have a timeless mood to them with the grain and tones. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 11, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted October 11, 2012 The compositons are excellent, but I do not like the processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sule Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share #5 Â Posted October 11, 2012 Thank you very much guys. Â @Stuny: Indeed! I am struggling with processing. This is just the second time I process my own negatives, it's such a pain to see such horrible result. But it should be a memorable lesson though.

Jerren Posted October 11, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted October 11, 2012 Hi Sule, I like the mood of these. Â I'm a photography student currently and I'm learning to develop my own film as well. Can you explain what lens/camera/film combination you used here as well as your process for developing the film? Â Stuny mentioned not caring for the processing and you said you were just learning. So that leads me to believe these aren't actually supposed to look like this? What do you think went wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sule Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share #7  Posted October 11, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Sule, I like the mood of these. I'm a photography student currently and I'm learning to develop my own film as well. Can you explain what lens/camera/film combination you used here as well as your process for developing the film?  Stuny mentioned not caring for the processing and you said you were just learning. So that leads me to believe these aren't actually supposed to look like this? What do you think went wrong?  Hi Jerren,  I used M7 with 35 cron asph and tri-x 400. I have to agree with Stuny on this, my images do have way more grain than it should, and there are parts where I lose details completely. My photos look like it has been pushed about 2 stops, when I actually did not push it at all. I think the problem is caused by the temperature difference between developer and fixer. My D-76 was at 20 degrees Celsius, but my fixer was at 15 degrees. The reason for that is because I tried to cool the chemicals down by using a lot of ice. While D-76 was at 20 poured it into the tank but forgot to take the fixer out of ice, that's why the fixer kept cooling down. It is kinda hard here in tropical countries to meet the ideal conditions.  Well, here's some more:   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, couldn't you have just waited for it to warm up? Or perhaps put it in some warmer water to warm it up a bit?  At any rate, this is interesting to know that this is the result of having fixer that is too cold. The images still have a nice calm, yet moody feel to them. I actually still quite like them even with the developing mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted October 11, 2012 Share #10 Â Posted October 11, 2012 Nice work! Many years ago, I used to try to force that grainy look. Grain reticulation (or grain clumping) is usually the result of fast temperature deviations, which shrinks the layer of grain, causing the giant clumps.
