When I start developing this tran with cpe E6 I found the chemicals were exausted or too old.

Anybody's got a clue what's wrong with this negative? It's 4x5 Adox Ortho 25 - I rated it at 12 but forgot to add bellowsfactor which should have been +-1 stop so I shot it at 25. I didn't find much info about developing that film in Pyrocat HD so I tryed 8 min @75. Done in a Jobo CPA, prewash of 2 min. Came out very thin. Could it be that I developed too long or is it underexposed? The negative looks very pink aswell. And then there is the streaking in the face... emulsion defect...? I never had problems with uneven development in the Jobo so I don't think it's that. Couldn't find a keeping date on the box - just bought it recently to test a bit. Perhaps it's out of date...
Somebody has experience with Adox Ortho 25 in Pyrocat HD?
Thanks!

I ran out of acetic acid for my collodion developer. I went to the collodion forum to find the vinegar (5% acetic) formula. Well I mixed it wrong and had a very weird day.....
I kind of like the effect of this one though. I had to develop it for like 10X the usual time....
She really liked this one but I was struggling with some bad collodion that hot day. She also moved her head out of the plane (notice how sharp the wine bottle is).
I have a photo somewhere of an ex-girlfirend that was a mistake...
Does that count?
That's just irony for you. That last one accomplished both....Originally Posted by ruckusman
This would have been a great photograph for this mother and daughter. However my chemistry was a mess that day and the exposures were just too long.....
Shot this tonight since my wife was in no mood to sweat under the 500W spotlight. I'm posting it here because I did not make the best lens choice. The camera was racked out to its full 30" making this image 1:1, and focusing the Petzval wide open at that magnification was a fool's task. You can see the sharpness of the focal plane along the fabric, but the skull never seemed to come all the way into focus. Next time no Petzvals for close-up work!
Kodak 2D 8x10 x/5x7 back, B&L 15" f/4 projection Petzval, Kodak Low Contrast Aerial Duplicating Film (SO-277).

4x5 Ektachrome. Forgot the plastic wrap.
This was supposed to be a portrait. Total processing failure, but the resulting image is pleasing to look at.
Illford direct positive paper.
