Really nice image.

I disagree. They are both analogue.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Yes you are right. They are both analogue... I'm just saying they are two different things (panchro and ortho), and both have a purpose.
Thank you tenderobject and rich815. Pyrocat is a very nice developer, but you can get pretty much the same result with most developers. Stick with what you have for now. I prefer to use a staining developer because it allows me to print the same negative on silver gel or alt process such as carbon transfer.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Hopefully, in the next few months i could find someone to ship me a pyro developer here. It's much cheaper in the long run plus i really like to print my negatives to silver gelatin and alt printing (cyano or gum).
Can you give me some pointers on how to print Xray film properly on silver gelatine? Would it be that hard to tame the contrast too?
Thanks!

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Try Andrew, I have no advice on printing. I experiment too much.

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
tenderobject, it's easier to round up the chemicals yourself and mix from scratch. The easiest staining developer to mix up is, in my opinion, is Obsidian Aqua, formulated by a LFPF member. Search it here. Lots of good info.
Randy, I experiment a lot too. That's the what makes this photography thing so much fun :)
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks Randy. Will try researching about this as well.. :)

Could be tricky... good luck!
