The Lighthouse - Ogden Utah

I guess this is abstract? This went through the Kodak ae31 process and during bleaching, which can happen in room light, I left the open bleaching next to my reversal light and it photographed an overlaying peice of film onto this section.

 

So the sprocket holes at the top are actually a double exposure of sprocket holes... stay with me now... lol .... (mechanical double exposure ? )

 

Ogden, Utah shot with Nikon N90s and Sigma 17-35mm af zoom. Best shots I have so far with Eastman 5257 from 1965. Ektachrome ER high speed (So far ISO 3). Development is a problem but I am learning. This film was stored in Phoenix for 50 years in a garage, not a fridge, but in the garage. No color yet... working. This are the clearest and most useful yet. Even though they have a distinct 1800s shitty daguerreotype look or even a woodblock print. Maybe a leather print? Did they ever do those?

 

Developed in universal paper developer (overdeveloped) 80 degrees F for 7 minutes. Rinsed and bleached in ferricyanide bleach for 5 minutes, rinsed and reexposed. Color developer in RA-4 paper developer. All this per Kodak publication ae31. Of course doing it with 60 year old film. No color here. We'll see if I can make fewer mistakes going forward.
