Yup. Its a bit peculiar thing i noticed too. Never had to compensate for longer exposures, at it seems be have enough latitude to allow for 2-3 stops miscalculations (every now and then i think i have gone too long or too short, but .. nope. Comes out right). Of course you still can goof it up, but it seems to be harder to do so.

8x10 Kodak CSG, 10m rotatry in 1:100 Adonal

Another cool part is that it dries up in about 15 minutes in drying cabinet so you can shoot batch and have ready results within 45 minutes ;)

Sergei,
A beautiful portrait of a beautiful woman.

Sergei,

You have captured Noir sweetness, the lady smiles with her eyes and smoulders with her slightly off focus lips, which softens them.

Thanks guys :) I was lucky enough to marry woman who not only doesn't mind me photographing and dorking with cameras in general , but also who doesn't mind me to come home after long work and at like 10pm shout "hey! lets try shooting this!" :) And then patiently wait while i doing all the stuff ;)
And encouraging me to do more photography b/c she knows I like it.

I agree Sergei...an excellent portrait!

Scan of a whole plate neg using Agfa Ht-g. Developed in Rodinal 1:120 for 10 mins.
I've exposed and developed to produce higher density for salt prints. I actually like the glowing highlights in this scan but the neg will perform best with an alternative POP (hopefully) :rolleyes:
