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 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,…

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…
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

I spent several long nights experimenting with my own positive developer, with which I could make photographs with and without grain, black and white and monochrome, and most importantly to make it suitable for lith print… just the holy grail. In combination with the paper used, I managed to achieve quite interesting results. I used one pack of Fomabrom N 112 for testing. At the moment when it became clear that this developer, composed of three solutions, can do a lot of effects depending on the given ratios, I used Fomatone MG clasic 132 paper. Because the lith print result seems really great to me, I named this developer Lilith The basis of this developer is the excellent negative developer 510Pyro in a dilution of 1:200. By mixing the other two solutions in different proportions, we get an almost infinite number of combinations of the results in the photo 🙃🎞📷🖼

We spent Saturday morning on these warm days 500 meters above sea level…on the pedal boat. It definitely wanted to take a lens with a shorter focal length than 50mm🙃🎞📷
Today I tested another great negative film from Kodak. It is primarily intended for copying and archiving. But it’s definitely great for photograph. I certainly could have brought a better lens… but you know me. I like to shoot with lenses that have reached their end of life and no one wants them🙃📷🎞

Last week, the Czech company Foma released a new orthographic film with a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400. So I immediately bought several rolls and started to choose the developer with which I will use this negative. We were warned by the manufacturer that there is no anti-halation layer on the negative, so it will not be possible to photograph yellow in backlight. Well, I tried everything I had mixed 🙃🎞📷 –
