    Looks great! Just curious, why does the shadow look bluish?

    Well I got some taxidermy bugs on amazon and used my calumet c1. I pulled it off the rails and onto a table to get the longest bellows draw I could. I took the meter, measured the bellows and since it was 3 times greater than standard I took the exposure length to the 3rd power for a 32 second exposure at f90 on provia 100. I used my jobo CPE-2 and a catlabs C81 to develop it. first 3 failed and I realized that film holder in the tank was floating freely since I have a chinese tank that didnt match up with the CL81, so I wedged a piece of plastic in the gap to stop it from spinning around the core and that worked like a charm. In the future I'm going to wait a bit longer to make sure the chemistry is at the correct temperature in the jobo, or maybe push the first developer a bit to make sure the color is right, unless anyone has a better suggestion.
