I think I'm getting the hang of the Agfa Green. All exposed at 50ASA using the sunny 16 rule... developed in Rodinol at 50:1 for 7 minutes with a 2 minute prewash at 72F/22C.









Around Whitstable and Chislet, Kent, last weekend.

Here's a use of X-Ray that is seldom seen. I shot the illuminated light bulb with 5x7 X-Ray, later I contact printed a FP4 interpositive of the center.

Then I enlarged onto normal paper making a 'negative' appearing print on paper.

I've used close to a full box of Ektascan B/RA and not seen that weird line, Jim. Pinholes in the emulsion sometimes, but not that.

Thanks, maybe I should contact ZZ medical and see what they say.

Fascinating shot, Randy. Looks almost like, um, an x-ray of the bulb!

Thanks. I had fun making it.

I exchanged a print of it for a big stash of film, paper and chem. The Pro liked it.

A kind word is deeply felt.

I've started to pull from the center of the package and on some the mark shows and others none. Wondering what it could be. Static electricity? It is always the same pattern and in the same place on the negative.

Your mark is light on the negative, and not sharp. I think it's the shadow of a hair inside your bellows. Static would be dark on the negative.

Donald, thanks I will check.
