    Is this a b/w photography account now?

    Idk, but I’m having fun. #lastoftheroll from the last couple rolls (Ilford Delta 400) Old Jena 50mm on the close-focus limit is totally my jam, man. It also tends to jam there. Man. There’s nothing happening in these shots, which is why I like them.

    last night at Mauerpark

    Ihagee Exa with a Hanimex 90-230mm f/4.5 lens that weighs about three tons and has the size and shape of a very big black …pepper grinder. Lens attached to tripod with the comparatively dainty camera dangling off at the end. Not the most practical of combinations, tbh. Exposure time 10s or so, on Ilford Delta…

    these are all prints on Ilford MGRC (black and white) paper, which makes very nice colors when left unfixed and then exposed to light 1 – developer, no fixer, slightly bleached in hydrogen peroxide (which turned it brown), the color circle is exposure with a desk lamp 2 – developer, no fixer, citric acid, hydrogen…

    the camera, the negative, the “print”

    Okay it’s not quite f/64, but otherwise basically Ansel Adams. Really surprised how well this worked, I built the pinhole camera in like 5 minutes after half a bottle of wine. That’s probably the important part. Shot on paper, on Ilford MGRC, ~1 hour at ISO 6-ish. f/151 if I got my math right, and…

    Slightly less confused by split-grade printing by now, but it’s unfortunate that it can’t fix what was a bad photo to begin with… if someone could invent that, that would be of great help.

    shed. Ihagee Exa, Ilford Delta 400, darkroom-printed on ~40 year old ORWO photo paper which still worked, somewhat surprisingly. I messed up the black border in the top left but hey – gives it character or whatever.

    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…
