Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

[Jim Noel]

Well I'm up high here, closer and wider means looking up instead of across.

I wasn't actually planning to go back to the scene, it's overgrown by now anyway and I would have to wait another year. Hah!

But I was talking about cropping, and I kind of like this... (cropped on my phone haha).

So the shadow wouldn't really be an issue.

When I copied your image into PS to look at cropping I found a very similar crop which pleased me. (Don't worry I'm not going to copy it,i did it just to help with the question. I have already deleted it. ) I liked it better when I also cropped the top justabove where the trees fork, making it a longer, more narrow image.

Thanks Jim, I'll play around with it.

There's enough density I can certainly play around with contrast, I don't think I'll print this though. I do have an IR version of this I'm curios how it came out (not yet developed).

But Jim, I would never worry about you, Heck I should be honored if you "stole" my image haha

Hi, recently I came into possession of a pack of Kodak TMAT G/RA sheets. Can you suggest some starting points for exposure and development?

Thank you

Expose as iso 80-ish, develop in an open tray under a safe light so you can see what happens. In my limited experience, I would start with ca 8 minutes in 1:100 rodinal.

Thanks for the comppliment.

Playing around with long night exposures with Ektascan.

Doesn't handle the contrast as well as pan film, but not bad.
