Corran, the tunnel is perfect as it is.

Here's more woodsy trail. Where does this go? Why do I keep doing this? Unfortunately for the thread there's more of this planned.

Brilliant! Luminous tonality across the entire image!

I really enjoy photographing along the shores of Lake Ontario - and I'm finally getting brave enough in my LF adventures to try out front tilt (seems way more important on 5x7 than it was on 4x5).

Don, that's a very fine looking paper neg, the crisp rocks and blurry trees make a great contrast. I checked your Flickr page for some more detail and see that you developed it in a 1:19 solution, and for just 45 seconds. I'm intrigued - do you develop all your paper negs in this way? And do you pre-flash?

I actually like using ID-11, diluting the stock 1+1 for around 2 minutes but I find I need to mix the ID-11 and use right away and I find it hard to dissolve. My next tests will be with Rodinal at 1:100, 1:150 and 1:200 so see if I get better consistency. I find that I get a lot of “chemical clouding” especially in bright areas of the exposure when I develop with Ilford’s paper developer. The clouding is worse if I agitate at all.

I used to pre-flash, but some exposures I’d like to come out more contrasty so I don’t pre-flash any more. Instead, if the scene is high contrast, I use a Lee #12 filter and it tames the contrast great!

Try using hc110 or ilford equivalent
You will get more repeatable results

Almost the last woodsy shot that I need to do. Then it'll be out of my system. 150mm lens, Rollei i.r. film. Ft. Ebey St Park
