Magnifique color of these flowers and tree Chris

Unbeatable film for this vivid type of color , not possible in digital.

I think I will begin E6 development soon. If I have problem I 'll send you a PM :)

Thanks Chris for your comment , sometimes film pictures specially nature flowers

as you already know :)

I try , I try but I am so far of the result of Claude Monet  :)

 

To continue what I said to Chris and without being accused of repeating myself, the film brings a plus

(That can not bring digital) it is the "artistic" side in the true sense of the term, this is this aspect "a little soft",

"a little blurry", not "all sharp" aspect and "cutting" line as in digital, which gives an "impressionist" side of the image.

This is what we try to get through our photos and this is what we see in the real

You will have no problems with E-6, Henry. It's very similar to C-41, just time, temperature and inversions. My kit gave instructions for lower temperatures such as 80ºF/27ºC, or 70ºF/21ºC but it took long enough at the standard 105ºF/40.5ºC:

 

Presoak 1 minute

First developer 6.5 minutes (increase by a factor of 1.04 every two films)

First wash, fill and drain seven times

Colour Developer 4.5 minutes (no change for successive films)

Second wash, fill and drain seven times

Blix 10 minutes

Third wash, fill and drain ten times

Stabiliser (not in kit, I used some C-41 stabiliser) 1 minute

PhotoFlo 1 minute

 

Agitation was four inversions at start and every 30 seconds. I warmed the tank in my washing up bowl of boiled water, and when the solutions hit 105º I took it out and started the presoak. I made no effort at all to replace it into the hot water between inversions. Once the first developer was in the tank, I added cold water to my water bath so the colour developer wouldn't get too hot (I ended up taking it out of the water bath for a while), which also let me dip into the bath once it was down to 110º for the washes. It's a bit busy, but perfectly straightforward if you keep yourself organised.

Thank you Chris for these precisions.

I keep it in my development file.

In the same impressionist style

 

 

Kodak Portra 160

M7- Apo Telyt 135 Asph-Tripod

 

I like the background , it's like a painting as some brush "touches"  :)

the definition is great with this Apo Telyt 135 , you can see spiderwebs :)

The "contre-jour"  gives a relief to poppies and wheat
