Large Format Landscapes

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

Wonderful image! You are getting better and better.

Wonderful image! You are getting better and better.

Thank you. I was worried when I took this.

Steven, very impressive.

Thank you. Still doesn’t do justice to actual image.

Very nice. I love Sedona shots. I live about 1.5 hours south of there.
