Good Morning Everyone,

Well, I finally got around to developing some shots that I've had for quite some time. The devil tempted me with a Pentax K20D and some Limited lenses, and I sold the majority of my LF gear off and kept a very basic LF kit.

Now I'm wishing I hadn't done that. After developing these two shots last night, I'm definately catching the LF bug again, and I'll probably be looking to add some more lenses to my LF kit again.

Anyways, here's the two shots:

Both shots taken with B&J 4x5 Grover and Schneider 150mm f5.6 Symmar Convertible on Efke 25. Developed in 1:100 Rodinal for 15.5 min. @ 71ºF in my BTZS tubes. Negs were scanned and then I added kind of an antique flavoring in Photoshop.

Comments and critiques always welcome. Also, it may be kind of forced, but I like the antique look that I added in Photoshop. Is there a way to get a similar look in the darkroom?

They are both excellent, the second one having interesting sharpness. I like them a lot...
