How to launch the glider ?

 

An "engine" (bottom of the photo) that pulls a very strong cable that launches the glider at full speed ! very impressive and silent mechanism !

I noticed earlier in the thread, Henry, that you posted photos of a K13 - my very first glider flight was in a K13 in the late 1960's at South Marston.

 

Do you use the standard times for C41 when processing at 30ºC - I imagine you would have to lengthen them?

I went back to a couple of my last roll of Ektar to see if I have learnt anything about using the Flexcolor software that drives the X1. Original scan, then new scan:

I think it's a bit closer to the actual scene.

Chris thank you for your answer.

 

I develop myself also color (C41) and I work with a water bath at 30 ° C

like Fred in a French friend forum (do google translation to read in English)

Le Pirate • Voir le sujet - Le Traitement C41 à domicile

My pictures of London posted previously is developed home :)

Dear Henri,

 

I'm asking from ignorance about this particular subject and hoping for a helpful answer.

 

Is there an advantage for a film shooter (and non-scanner :o ) like me, who works down-town, to process C41 at home?

 

Can you push it?

Can you influence contrast?

Do faulty results arrive from the still existing NON-professional labs?

(Only once did I receive a roll witj a scratch all through all the pictures.)

 

My last question: since those non-professional labs might be VERY cost-conscious due to their economic situation today:

Does a rinsing by me at home of my processed films after receiving them back make sense? It is not a problem to not have the films cut, if I write it big on the bags. I practice this for all, because I also use 18X24 Olympus Pen (for 1600 ASA).

(Roll-films - 50-200ASA in my case - have to go to a pro lab).

 

Cordialement

Chris , when processing at 30°C +/- 0.5 ,development time is 5 mns. Please look at the link (Chris , do Google translation French-English)

I try it for you : https://translate.google.fr/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pirate-photo.fr%2Fforum%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D655&edit-text=

Simon is very easy if you usually develop b&w film. It's the same thing except that here it is absolutely necessary to maintain a constant temperature. You have to buy a water bath to heat the water to 30° C (measured with a thermometer)

If this constant temperature is maintained for 5 minutes the colors will be impeccable but if the temperature varies (per ex. down) colors will change. The development step is the most important.

I have two bath with a thermostat. Resistance aquarium (for fish) is also good.Buy a small aquarium on which you put the resistance to heat water. No scratches on film if done at home :)

Send me a MP if you need some more information.

Once scanned your film, you can process your Tiff with photo software (LR,PS,CO). In general, I do not use software for film but for photos from my M8 / M9 sometimes I do .

Chris, it seems to me it's a K21 for training no ? .... and in b&w posted above, this is indeed a K13, you're right :)

The ability of the film to support "contre-jour" (against the light) is remarkable (dynamic of the film)

The digital can not because the picture will be underexposed !

 

Here are two pictures taken in "contre-jour", we see all the detail in the shadows and colors are always present

I might try a colour film at 30ºC - my chemicals are from Unicolor rather than Tetenal, but C-41 is standardised and it shouldn't matter. But today I felt the need to enjoy some real blacks! I walked long the disused railway line in the opposite direction to yesterday's walk, and took the M7, Lux35FLE, Acros 100 @80, a yellow filter. Film was developed in Rodinal 1:50 and scanned on the X1. Very contrasty negatives - I will shorten the development time if I use this combination again.

Once scanned your film, you can process your Tiff...

 

Once retired I shall do this. It is still far away but not very far :)

It is evident, that it will be "the impossible challenge" to best your wonderful photographs, which I always have an eye for.

 

Many thanks and kind regards,

Simon P

Very nice b&w series ot this nice place !

 

Practical question for me :

- what is the development time of Acros 100 ?

you plan to further reduce this time ?

 

- when you write: "Acros 100 @80" it means that it has developed at 80 Isos ?

Thanks Chris

Simon, I am not a fan :D of using the software for correcting my pictures because I am not competent .

In medicine yes ! For this reason I correct very little and not at all my photos :)
