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

[Tin Can]

Good one, I like black vignetting. Self portraits are tough on many levels, not just focus. I have one I did with AF digi, I like. The newer Nikons lock on a face and follow you. It's spooky. I think I said before I set a 23" monitor rotated to portrait on a studio stand and let people shoot themselves with a remote. Kinda fun.

Now if I could get a sitter, to remain available for GG viewing...all day...

Good one, I like black vignetting.

I wonder if my wife will let me have a pet duck. She has a dog!

Ok.. here is odd duck one.

I think i accidentally stumbled on development process step that i have never thought about.

Its second time i did that mistake and its second time i am getting images with seriously decreased contrast in outdoors shoot - managed to open tank after development stopped, before fixer poured in (i like to flush leftovers of whatever in tank completely and typically do that in darkness, but i once again managed to do development while sleepy).

Got to try to do it on purpose

(yes, fingers on left hand are a bit odd, when you look around white.. they do show up fine in print and if photo surrounded by gray..)

finally. something i promissed to do

Curt - to answer your question about filters on 300mm convertible Symmar - seems like easiest (and proper?) way to do it - use rear element threads. They are fine threaded and work with 77mm filters (which i happen to have ).

now, Kenko yellow-green, Kodak CSG @ iso 100, rodinal 1+100 10m. Uppermentioned Symmar.

Sergei,

Wow! Lovely tonality with yellow-green filter. Very nice.

Sergei, you're getting some excellent results. I just checked and yes I do have some 77mm filters. I bought them for my RB67 and now they'll fit right in the real element of the Symmar. I'm glad you checked it out. Even converted the filters work so that's a plus.

Reason why i got my set of 77 is b/c i am shooting RZ

Jim and Vaughn...great images. Vaughn, there is something different about how your images look in terms of contrast, etc. that seems different than what I"m used to...the fact they're blue sensitive?
