I would say as long as the fixer relatively fresh, and you do a full wash sequence, then repeating a 60s fix afterward is like starting over so the subsequent wash procedure should be as efficient....

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking, Doremus. I wouldn’t change anything you’re doing if it’s working well. I think if people have water conservation concerns it might be easier to do...
In the original work at Ilford that led to its archival/optimum permanence sequence it was found 30s fixing in the "film-strength" rapid fixer was sufficient. Since it was also found that extending...
LOL you fancy guys with your acreage. All I have is an apartment - but still no place like home.
I haven’t used Foma films but I’d be surprised if they have different dimensions than Ilford/Kodak. These things are standardized.
That BW King thing looks terrible for a variety of reasons but if...
I agree.
You can try adding either Benzotriazole or KBr. The
A standard print developer will tend to develop contrast quickly and you’ll typically sacrifice a little emulsion speed - not the best for...
One obvious potential problem I can think of when trying to use an unmodified film developer for paper is chemical fog. Film developers are not formulated to totally suppress fog - this is acceptable...
True. I also should have been clearer - I wasn't referring to your post (or Oren's). It was the rest that read like laughable "artist statements".
Sorry.
It's like you people are parodies of yourselves at this point.
If I remember correctly the H formula was more dilute than the D version, the goal being more contrast/stain for the petroglyph negatives he was making at the time, so maybe it needs longer...
Sal,
Thanks for correcting regarding SE3. I should have checked that first (it’s been years since I tried that developer).
I don’t think you will find Lupex to be an inherently blue/cool paper. I suggest trying basically any general purpose/neutral developer first. If on the other hand you prefer a cooler tone you might...
Drew, you should get one of those fancy Canon or Nikon digital cameras for when it’s windy. You can shoot at ISO 320,000.
This ^^^ is absolutely right. People invent complexity where there really isn’t any.
Cool stuff, Bob. I remember Ian Leake occasionally posting images on APUG years ago but didn't know he had a studio going and built equipment. Cone editions is an interesting outfit too. I'd still...
If it helps anyone I was told Harman just posted on Photrio the 2024 window is now open.
Is shrapnel grain sort of like buckshot grain?
I never much cared for Loranc’s stuff. Another guy who gives TXP a lot of exposure is Barnbaum. I’m not a fan of his either though.
I’m not much of a sentimentalist - it’s more A. Wyeth’s technique with tempera I admire. Anyway it was just an example of a 20th century painter who chose tempera even though oil superseded it in...
No, tempera like what people used before oils, and what some modern masters like Andrew Wyeth used. You should know that.
What is watercolour grain? Personally I like egg tempera grain but you have to be careful not to flex the film or else it cracks. And don’t overcook the eggs.
Edit: Never mind I found it in...
I don’t know… that doesn’t look like a very convincing shark, although maybe it’s one of those things AI isn’t good at like fingers. I kind of prefer my version though where it’s a drowning guy being...
Doremus thanks - I see it now. I will count this as one of my blunders :)
I haven't seen this ~~~~\o/~~~~~/\~~~~~ before. What is that? /\ could be the cosmological constant ? but not sure what the rest is.
Perhaps Tin Can was referring to AI having generated the exhibit overview/description above.
TF-5 is not alkaline.
Drew, back in the day were there any other films that had a TXP-like retouching surface on the base side?
TXP is Tri-X 320, which is a very different emulsion than TX (Tri-X 400), and is fairly unique. It was originally designed primarily for low flare, studio/portraiture work. It has a relatively long...
Meh. Nothing particularly captivating from my perspective. Just basic mechanics.
It’s supposed to be clear sky all day here so I guess people will get their money’s worth.
I’m telling you, you’d have the best YouTube photography channel by a country mile, and you’d be a YouTube star.
Well, apparently all the hotels here and all the ski resorts in the eastern townships are full. Jay Peak just south of the border says this is making their season. Crazy.
You should really have one of them YouTube channels.
I think “…known for a very long time,…” is the key phrase. A hundred years ago, maybe.
I sort of did this back when Ilford introduced the reformulated papers, although the Moersch developers I used in the experiments were only the Warmtone, SE-3, and SE-6. I documented some of it...
Drew, PMT is short for Phenyl Mercapto Tetrazole. The whole point is it isn’t Benzotriazole (which does pretty much nothing as far as image colour is concerned) although it is related.
No issues with my 110xl, although (a) I bought it new - ie it had not been improperly disassembled and (b) it was from a relatively late production run. It came with the ooh-la-la Linhof engraving...
Yes and they also offer some good bulk chemicals for scratch mixing including some compounds which have been harder to source in recent years such as PMT.
Freestyle seems to carry some of the...
The split development experiment that produced the cold tones is interesting. I wonder what the mechanism would have been there.
