I’m interested in Photography. I shoot both Film and Digital and I have an unhealthy obsession with darkroom printing. Happy to engage/be engaged with. Any photo I post is open for constructive critique. Melbourne based 🇦🇺
What on earth did I do? Bulk rolled. Did I bugger the rolling up? Did a shoot a frame without the lens? Did I open the back of the camera a small amount? I have no idea. But one over exposed frame in the middle shows I screwed up somewhere.
I’ve become a Nikon guy it would seem. Present from my wife for my 40th. It’s genuinely a dream to use.
Oi @billthoo.bsky.social . This weather is unacceptable. Please change it. Your city, you sort it please. Thanks 😁
Hell yes! Started with 102g and baked it into potassium carbonate. Lith Part B done!
Don’t have potassium carbonate but do have Potassium Bicarb? Bung it in the oven for an hour or until it’s lost 31% of its weight. Then boom Potassium Carbonate. This is going to be my part B for my Lith developer.
Very much enjoyed this. And loved this page. Keep coming back to it. @paulasmith.co.uk
So I started playing with making my own clone of HC110 (old formula). Couldn’t get DEA-SO2 so substituted for PEG300, TEA and Glycerol. Developing agents were HQ and Phenidone. Small amount of water for sodium sulfite and KBr to dissolve. Obviously not HC110, but 1:30 dilution seems to work!
This is a PSA. When making up Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda, NaOH) wear gloves. Chemical burns sting. This could have been a lot worse and I’m trained in the safe handling of chemicals. Don’t be me: Wear your PPE. On the fun side, making up some Ansco70 for Lith printing.
Well I’m stumped. Ilford FP4, Easter 2025, Australia. Shot on the auld tank.
