    If you are talking about the uneveness , then I suggest this if from insufficient agitation in the first 15 seconds of development.

    Despite Pawlowski's approval, I, too see some uneven development, which, as Bob points out, is likely due to agitation problems. I assume that the out-of-focus areas are intentional, so no problem there if so. If not, then lens, focusing, etc. can be examined.

    If you detail what you think the problems are with your negs, and the processing details, you'll get a lot more help here :-)

    Best,

    Bush,
    The problem is most likely that you are getting inadequate agitation in the developer and I would suggest a method of making sure the developer evenly gets on the film in the very first 15 seconds, here and on APUG this IMHO is the most common problem in film developing and actually one of the hardest things to do correctly.
    You are in trays which I have never worked with for film development , but the flow lines are much like the problems of not getting the dev over the whole film fast and evenly.
    If you are using an acid stop, then all development should stop immediately and FWIW streaking could not be attributed at this stage, as most prominent development is long finished and this kind of streaking would be impossible, unless of course you decided not to use a stop or fix then I could see some uneven mottling to start happening but that really would be impossible in any three tray setup.

    BTW I do like the images and the selective focus is nice.

    That problem to me is
    -lightleak?
    -uneveness as bob carnie said: maybe from agitation. But how about fixer, I just move the film in 15s in fixer then let it be there for 2 minutes. May it come from that ?

    Re: trouble from unknown

    My take is uneven development as well....but very cool results.
    Can you explain the details of your development procedure, Chemistry, times, tray or other etc

    you are "supposed to" agitate in the fixer a lot more than 15s
    some suggest the same agitation you would do for developer gets done
    in the fix ( 1 min continual, 10sec/1min thereafter )
    or shuffle constantly ( do a baseline clear test before process and develop 2x the clear time )
    or roll in your drum ...

    that said ... i worked with someone for a long while who just let her film stand in fix without agitation for 6-7mins
    or whatever the film run was that followed the film in the fix, and i was printing negatives she processed/fixed &c 20-40 years before.

    i guess you need to figure out what works for you and then just do it ..
