Decided to do something silly today - develop XP2 (actually the fake Chinese stuff that Freestyle used to sell) in Qualls' monobath. Rather low contrast negs, but salvageable.
Nikon F6, 85mm and 50mm lenses, KM5400 II scans.

Some signs of spring. Lomo Petzval at f2.5. May 2015.

Cool to see what the Lomo petzval can do. I like the dof
More monobath madness! Some from the M7 and Plus-X:

I took this photo with my BlackBerry just to text to my girlfriend, thinking that mu 5x7 would fit right in.
I never thought anything of it until today, when she asked if she could print it off and use it in some display she wants to set up.
It was hard to tell her that the quality isn't there.
She also wants this photo, also taken on my BlackBerry.
Good thing I also have a LF version.

Learning to visualize based on subject and format is a focus for me right now. I have resisted the 35mm bug until a month ago when I picked up a Leica reasonably. One of the reasons that I resisted 35mm so long was the fact that I saw 35mm as so flat and lifeless compared to the larger formats. To me, very often, though not always, this is true. As I research past 35mm masters (Bresson, etc) I look for ways that they saw the world through 35mm and how they made it work regardless of my perceived limitations of the format. It occurs to me that in this small format that the subject and the story is more important than ever as you cannot rely nor expect other aspects of the image to carry the visual impact of the image. Well, that is unless you are intentionally using grain as part of your visual approach (something that I want to experiment with soon.
This image was shot using the Leica and Tri-X 400.
