ok,
hope these are clearer now:
The film is Fomapan 100, 4x5
f/45 , can't remember the time, probably a quarter of a second or something like that
old graflex camera with aposironar 150 lens
my cable release stopped working so i tied a bit of dental floss to the shutter release, as it is what i had on hand , image seems sharp enough?
process-
pre-wash: 1 minute in distilled water
Ilford chems:
ID11, 1:1 developer:distilled water, solution filtered thru cotton wool, 7 mins at room temperature, around 19 degrees C
stop bath: distilled water + a splash of spirit vinegar, 1 minute
Ilford rapid fixer, 1:5 with distilled water, fiktered thru cotton wool,15 mins
now I had a problem with the rinse as I didn't have enough distilled water so I filtered tap water through a coffee filter for half an hour but I don't think coffee filters are designed for that volume of water.
Before hanging up to dry I always have little white specks on the neg, I don't know what this is so I will buy a proper mains filter and photoflo tomorrow.
I don't know if you can see the difference on the photos, I can on my laptop screen. the second image is more contrasty so I'm guessing that is the 7 minute 1:1 dilution.
The project i'm doing at the moment i'm hoping to exhibit as 1 meter x 1m 20 (or thereabouts ) prints so that's why i'm being a bit fussy about the details.
thanks
