NYC Walk About
Plus-X, N-1, HC-110
A few more from that roll shot in NYC with the RTS II and the C/Y 50mm f/1.4. It’s hard to see in this JPEG but the street sign says “42nd Street”
After I took the last one, I turned around and saw this . . .
That old C/Y 50mm 1.4
Plus-X, N-1, HC-110
Developed on older roll shot with the Contax RTS mounting the C/Y 50mm 1.4. Like the look of this lens; just wish the camera hadn’t given me the fits. Liked the camera a lot, too.
Glowing Bag
This look of pulled Plus-X I will miss a lot once I’m through with all the rolls I have stashed.
Love the reflection in the window
This roll, for some reason, had a number of abstract images on it. They surprised me quite a bit when I looked at them.
Still working on the transfer . . .
Plus-X, N-1, HC-110 (H)
I’m still working on the transfer of the blog to this theme. I’m moving the folders on the web site around so the whole thing will work, and in the process broke the RSS feed a bit. So please let me know if you see this post in your feed.
This image was from a roll of pulled Plus-X, shot with the short-lived Contax RTS II. Loved that camera, but it couldn’t be fixed after it broke.
Three from today
Weston Beach, Pan-F, Rodinal
I know I’ve been away aq bit, just been very busy at work. This weekend I was able to catch up on some scanning, and these three images were the favorites from that session.
HP5, Xtol, BVW Class, Oct 2010
And, then this one, shot just yesterday and developed last night as a test of HP5 in HC-110 (H)
HP5, HC-110 (H), Processed a bit in Silver Efex
More to come
Hazy Summertime
Pan-F, HC-1120 (H)
Scanning away here and came across a roll I shot with my Mamiya around July or so. It might have been in August, I honestly can’t rermember. I’ll post a few images from that roll in the next day or so. That day was hot and hazy, humid in that Western-PA sort of way. This is the point at which the Beaver River flows into the Ohio. The railroad bridge crosses over the point.
I worked on the image to try and capture that feeling, but seeing it on the web page leaves me feeling I missed it somehow.
More to come.
HC 110
HC-110 Dilution H, HP5, N-1
Here I go, experimenting again. When I lived back in Mesa, I had purchased a bottle of Kodak HC-110 to play around with. Back in those days my, ahem, developing technique was rough at best, as was my scanning technique.
I developed a couple rolls with HC-110 because I had heard that its compensating effects were very nice. I didn’t see much advantage, and since diluting that little HC-110 was sort of difficult (the use of a syringe was involved) I gave up and closed up the bottle.
It sat unopened since October 2008.
Curious, I read up on using it again, realized that the techniques used were now certainly within my skill set, and discovered that the developer in syrup form (as it comes in the bottle) had a particularly long life span. I shot a quick dozen frames of HP5 yesterday while riding shotgun in my wife’s car, developed for N-1 at dilution H, and liked what I saw.
This image posting may have set the record for quickness for me; this image is posted 26 hours after shooting it.

Today I begin officially trying out various themes as I begin the migration towards a new landing page / blog page design. Give me feedback, please.
