Farbfilm vergessen

Farbfilm vergessen Process notes: Ihagee Exa; f5.6 unless I bumped it, 1/150s because the Exa doesn’t go any faster. Ilford Delta 400, split-grade printed. Need more practice with split-grade printing, absolutely zero intuition there. I mean the results are okayish but that was more down to the universe than down to me. Also I need…

self-portrait with hat

35mm Ihagee Exa, as should be visible. This one shot on Ilford Delta 400, stand developed (though I don’t think that makes a difference in this case) and darkroom-printed on multi-grade paper. 7×9.5 inches in real life. Like, almost DIN A4 size. It has a bit more midtones in person, but this also looks cool.…

Shot with a disposable color film camera

…developed by hand in b/w paper developer. Bit of a surprise that this worked at all.

Plant on the lookout

Much nicer picture, so this gets less text and more hashtags. Polaroid 230 automatic, shot on paper.

My kitchen windows, circa 1862

This one is “properly” exposed in the sense that there’s both highlight and shadow detail, sort of – but the range is so small, it looks too dark and too bright at the same time. Probably better to pick a side and let the highlights blow out, or the shadows go black, respectively. Who wants…

Plant and friend, as an actual real paper positive.

This was shot directly on paper in a Polaroid 230 and then reversed. The reversal process is actually super simple – developer, citric acid, hydrogen peroxide until it’s completely white, turn the lights on, developer again. I’ll have to order things in the right concentration, this took like an hour for me. But it works,…
