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

Here is fun X-Ray, studio mirror selfie scanned in color V700I was shocked happy

The blue tint must have added something

Serendipity is fine with me

Even very thin X-Ray scans great

Nice shot. But not. Art. Hah!
No really, it's a nice one.

Thank you

Peace on Earth...

As I am my only human, I need to try again

Differently

I now have 3 big mirrors

One huge tall mirror and heavy

all the way from China for $100

that shit is over

Are you using trays to process? If so, flat-bottomed are the best. I use them for double-sided green lat xray. No scratches.

Yes, this shot was tray developed in the kind that has grooves at the bottom. I think I'm a bit rough with the cutdown process. I don't have any flat bottomed trays but I can stand develop in a yankee tank (I did it yesterday, and I don't *think* there were any black scratches...) Thanks!

What I’ve done in the past is use a full size sheet of wasted film, ie bad exposure, blurry shot or even just a fixed 8x10 blank on the bottom of a grooved tray. This keeps the cut down film from touching the bottom and causing scratches. Works great and it only costs a sheet of film.

Love it.

I'm still only about 80 pages in. But quick question - how much developer is needed per sheet? Is it just as much as pan film ie 25ml of D76 per 4x5? Or is it twice as much due to the doublesidedness? Or is each side 1/2 as effective as I've been reading some are removing the back, but losing density?

I'm currently messing around with stand development in a Yankee tank because I'm showing my 4 year old how it all works and I'd rather not splash in trays nor do I think she has the attention span for that. But if its 50ml/sheet, that's only 4 sheets I can develop at once for 1:7. I'm hoping it's less.

Forgive me if this in the thread already, I tried a search but nothing came up with my keywords. Thanks!

should take the same amount of developer to get the same amount of silver at the end. maybe more fixer.

Thank you very much.

I use 1/100 Rodinol 10 ml per 8X10

I use one gallon gas burst or trays

It needs as little as 7 min but is fully exhausted at 20 min

Try 25 ASA but it depends on color of light

I use very dim RED LED SAFE LIGHT bounced off ceiling

I also cut it to any size
