Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

I am shooting with a C1 also.

I wasn't gentle. I actually don't care about the scratches. This is 'good enough for government work' as we used to say. I sell nothing, I do this for my own enjoyment. Chasing perfection is not me.

I will get better.

I want to try conventional 5x7 film in the Ziploc, 8X10 was a very tight fit. My hands are not very cooperative. I am lucky to load and unload holders. Only recently have I gained enough hand strength to ride that bike, but I can ride a bike with my feet, been at that a long time.

Real cameras are huge!

Yes, they all do. However, I've noticed a big difference between x-ray film and films like Tri-X or HP5+. This HR-T does not need as much adjustment in my experience.

back to images.

4x10 , Kodak CSG @ iso100 , Symmar 300mm, 1+100 Rodinal 4:30, Yellow-Green filter.

I am changing backgrounds now.

Shoot later tonight.



Hard for me to really see it on a monitor. The Costco print should be interesting.

Better get there now.

You forgot to smile. :)

Got 2 CSG drying, not liking what I see. This may be the last Ziploc test for CSG 8x10. I still want to try it with FP4 5X7 in the same size bag.

I don't smile much and never for photos. :(

You never even smiled when you took your first successful flash picture with your Graphic?

Norwegians from Minnasota are not known for happiness. We are a grim lot. We left the frozen motherland for an even worse climate that has no sardines, only the miserable Bull Head fish to eat. Jamestown was better.

One basic question, my closet that is my darkroom has white walls, would that affect the red light?
