Leica M6 / Summicron 35 IV / Neopan 400 / xtol 1:1 – a stitch of two landscape shots:  

xtol

mixed my first batch of xtol 5lt, seeing tremendous improvement in grain and sharpness. tri-x was practically unusable with rodinal when taking day shots with plenty of sky. Now the sky is clear once again. Also neopan 1600 was ridiculously noisy with rodinal (it’s not designed for high iso or pushing). First the tri-x: neopans: […]

Long overdue black and white post

after a hectic month of non-stop work, I found the time to develop several tri-x rolls. First some images from the boat to and from Leros (4 journeys in total): Easter Epitaph procession ’11 – tri-x 400 @200 with flash: Back to June: Orestis lunch, then fallen asleep at the tv: Taken at the Leros […]

This one’s my favourite from trying […]

Rodinal 1+50 test rolls

Leica M6, Tri-X 400 in Rodinal 1+50, 13 mins. This is my second try, I think it looks quite good. Tri-X 400 in Rodinal first try, not using enough solution, resulting to a stain on top of each negative: I’ve cut the top of the rest: And a Neopan 1600 gone really wrong… In Rodinal […]
