I understand, evidence of the same artistic impulse was found in Pompei.

A quick reminder to pay attention to what you are doing: last night I went back to the rocky beach for sunset and exposed another roll of Pan F. It was quite lovely with the setting sun shining on the waters and the rocks and I hoped for some nice contre jour. My intention was to develop the Pan F for just 30 minutes in Rodinal 1+100 as one hour had over-developed the negatives last time. Then, for the first time in over 40 years of film developing I poured the fixer in first.... :unsure:

 

Careful mechanical tasks are quite soothing, so I stripped down my Visoflex Telyt 560/6.8 and cleaned and lubricated the trombone focusing mechanism. It feels much better and so do I. I have plans for my Visoflex lenses (280, 400, 560), which are apparently undesirable on the used market. This involves a 14167 adapter.

You know, I had the good fortune of making this mistake when I developed my second or third roll of film. Consequently, I lost nothing of any real possible value in the doing. I am a simple person, prone to mistakes..........Really, really stupid mistakes. to guard against myself, I took up the habit of never placing chemistry containers together: If developer is to be used first, only developer is standing next to the tank; the container of fixer solution is across the room. It results in a bit more footwork, but has prevented a recurrence. :)

 

What really pissed me off was the premature spoliation of my first batch of C41 chemistry as a result of my having dumped the blix I had just used into the container of developer........Same solution is being used to prevent another round of THAT frustration.

Been there, done that etc.  When I 'went back' to film I adopted my previous film development methodology - the three measuring jars lined up with dev on the left, then stop, then fix.  After getting back into the developing groove and about to develop a test roll from a newly acquired camera, I thought "hmm, as the containers are to the left of the sink, it would be better if I switched the dev & fix, so that I work from the sink outward."  You can see where I'm going here...

 

At the point where all chemicals were measured, mixed and the right temp, there was a brief domestic disruption - and yes, old habits die hard!

Haha, took me a while to notice, being busy admiring the well lined-up lines and composition.

I'm also stupid. I usually use distilled water for the final rinse which caused me a while back to wash a few rolls in...Diafine bath A which I idiotically kept in a bottle that looked exactly like my distilled water. Weirdly enough, they came out more or less ok. Here's one, which I posed earlier but then too shy to admit my idiocy. It's nice to be among friends.

This is a very nice series Edward.

 

 

Yes! Great stuff John.

Very nice, both content and processing. For a moment I thought I was in an MM1 thread. That looks a lot like my Monochrom's rendering.

 

I bet it took less processing. In fact, in my recent return to film, that's one of things I've been surprised at -- how little post work my scanned files require.

You wouldn't do any harm at all with a repeat dip in solution A, not after B, not after stop, nor after fix. Just wash it off. It can't develop any further once it's fixed, and A by itself doesn't develop anyway. The one thing that you must not do with Diafine is to get a drop of B in the A bottle.

 

You remind me of something I read about once on APUG - that if in a hurry in the darkroom to assess a print, you can turn the lights on once it's in the stop bath for a few seconds. Yes, you will expose previously unexposed and undeveloped silver, but as long as it doesn't go back into the developer the fixer will remove it as it dissolves away away exposed but undeveloped silver, along with the unexposed silver. I'm not brave enough to do that though!

It's tough going for me here in Israel trying to keep up  with my crack iPhone!!

 

Thanks, Wayne.    There are so many buildings in Manhattan (and I am sure elsewhere in other metropoli)  that have a special architectural quality about them.  Problem is that they are so close together and we mostly just look up which doesn't provide a sufficient vantage point.  

Excellent photograph. For some reason, I am particularly attracted to this building, too. My hat is off to photographer....and architect. It seems almost inappropriate to use the word on something so gigantic, but it has a certain........ elegance.?

 

Thanks,

 

Wayne

 

Thanks, Keith :)

No shortage of work for window-cleaners!  A pleasing composition with lots to hold the attention.

 

Thanks, Henry.  

Great picture Adam . This serie is interesting for the style of these buildings in NYC

... and without moiré :D

Thank you

Henry

 

Good one, Erl.  I totally get the analogy.    I have stared from this vantage point and all I can think about is how to uncross my eyes!

I remember having to guess how many peanuts in a jar, at a local fair.

This pics immediately makes me want to guess how many windows can you see!

 

Thanks for the feedback, Philip.  Interesting comment about the highlights.  There are none blown in the histogram.  Could be the compression of the 150+MB tiff.  The full resolution version displays an impressive range of tones.  I'm completely satisfied with the film and have bought more to use here in Israel.

I like this one too, perhaps even a bit more than the previous one. The Biogon is very useful for photos with lots of straight lines. The one thing that gets in the way, for me, of full viewing pleasure is that the highlights 'scream', for lack of a better word, a bit. It could be the result of viewing the image on the web, of course.

 

Best

Philip
