Fomapan 100@400

Lucky film! I was developing the first 2 of 4 rolls of B&W film tonight while cooking dinner and while on autopilot I stupidly unscrewed the light tight inner lid of the Paterson tank to pour the developer in. I realised and quickly put the lid back on and thought I would try to develop the film anyway.

 

Rather than my usual developing method I went for a high contrast look and under develop the shadows in a attempt to reduce the potential light leak fogging.

 

Developing was 2.5 Xtol : 7.5 waterr, 36 degrees, 9 mins, with more agitating.

 

To my amazement I think I only lost 2 photos of 24 to the light leak! So lucky!

 

Here is an example of the higher contrast higher grain look.

 

Hasselblad 501C + Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f4 @ f5.6 1/125 + Fomapan 100@400 + flash. I was shooting into the sun hence the flare.

 

Model - Anastaija (from the weekend)
