Ordinary shots….

Before everyone woke up at home, I cooked lunch (roast goose). Now it’s time to share a few ordinary BW shots ….😉📷🎞🌞

  • Nikon F50, Nikon F4, Pentacon Six TL, Decrullo-Netell, Fujica ST901, Bronica S2
  • a mix of cheap lenses ranging from 14mm to 240mm
  • homemade developers, either mixed according to original formulas or based solely on knowledge of chemical reactions. Except for ADOTECH IV (I haven’t managed to decipher that formula yet)

I’m constantly on the go…..

I haven’t really stopped at all over the past two years, except for a short vacation in Catalonia this year. Even though I always carry an arsenal of cameras and different types of film, I rarely get the chance to take them out of the car to capture a shot. Still, I have a few shots that I’d love to share with you.

  • Nikon, Bronica, Contax,…
  • expired: Kodak, Ilford, Fomapan, Adox,…
  • I still only use developers that I mix myself at home
  • The featured photo is the only one taken with my old D800, which I still haven’t given up on

And a bit of music to wrap things up. Unlike me, my son doesn’t let the muses sleep…

Ansco 130

Lately I like to use the Ansco 130 positive developer again after years. But I’ve only recently started using it as a developer for developing negatives. Basically, I leave any negative film (120) motionless for 45 minutes in the developer.

  • Kodak TMAX 400, Ilford HP5+, Ilford F PAN +, Fomapan 100……
  • Ansco 130(homemade) dilution 1+20
  • 45min

games of the light…

I haven’t posted in a very long time. Sometimes it happens that nothing seems to be happening around, or the second case when there is too much going on and then there is no free time left for fun. That’s why I’m only adding a few shots while playing with the light and the developing in the studio

back to the childhood

Every summer I travel to places where I spent my childhood. And sometimes I’m allowed to take pictures of my current childhood. I would ask the father of the little boy in the water to write to me so that I can send him a photo in better resolution…. 🙃🎞📷

  • Zenza Bronica S2 + Nikon F4
  • Nikkor P 75mm+ YF + Sigma 17-35mm
  • Foma Ortho 400 + Kodak 5231

Variations with Pyro Plus…

I’ve been tuning the PYRO Plus positive developer this week. By adding a certain amount of pyrogallol at the expense of pyrocatechin. With some combinations of these two developing agents, toning of photographs is no longer necessary . However, the papers must be placed in the bowl with the sensitive layer facing up. Otherwise, you may see streaks from the ribbing on the bottom of the bowl in your photos🙃📷🙏

  • Bronica S2A + Nikon P 75mm
  • Fomapan Ortho 400 + yellow filter+ Agfa Rodinal 1:50,25°C
  • Fomabrom Variant 112 + PYRO Plus ( different variants)

mistake….

I must have been tired or thinking about something else… In short, when developing one 120 negative, I used the same amount of developer as when developing 35mm film (right before that I developed three 35mm films). So it was low of developer in the development tank. Thanks to this, the resulting image was divided into a well developed part and a poorly developed part. I angrily crumpled the wet negative and threw it in the ash bucket. The next day I took the crumpled negative out of the bucket and put it under the glass in the scanner…. I got even more mad at myself. They could have been beautiful photos 🙃🎞📷
