Wow, this is like very cool. Can you explain a little more about the film?Originally Posted by arca andy
Hi Guys and Gals
I have not posted for sometime as I have been obsessed with my Rolleiflex! But this weekend I have been mucking about with Orthochromatic film and thought you might like to see the best result so far. Thank you Rupert for being my guinea pig.

Bad scan...I found a wayward photo folder from 11 years ago recently...

That's a wonderful portrait, Peter -- why do you say it's a bad scan? Are you seeing something I'm not?
Thanks, Ben. There's some mottling and noise in the background.

Snuck in just under the radar with this one: shot, developed, and scanned in November!
3 generations in this shot: Barb, Emily, and our halfway-finished baby girl. Deardorff V8, HP5+ in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100, Kodak Commercial Ektar 12" at around F/11.

Hi Glad you like it.
I have always liked Tintype portraits, those interesting skin and eye tones are just beautiful. Currently I don't have the time to delve into that fascinating process so in trying to get something similar, but quicker and less wet, I used Ilford Ortho Plus. Being orthochromatic the film is not sensitive to red light and with Rupert, being a ruddy faced builder, the film has picked up the texture of his skin and freckles whilst lightening his blue eyes.
The film was rated at 50ASA and then processed 1:3 in D76 as I didn't want it to have too much contrast. I scanned, then dodged and burned (probably a little too much) in Photoshop.
