Experiment in Color ?
Color shifts to bring out the positive image. The "Cafe" sign looks good but those are no where near the correct colors.
Morgan Utah Oct 2022. Fuji F-250 shot at ISO 200. Nikon F4 with Nikkor kit lens. I shot these to experiment with a 1948 reversal formula from Lars Moen. Lars said try Kodak Dk-20 as a first developer to balance the tungsten, and then he had a simple color developer:
Sodium Bisulfite 1g
Color Developer 4g
Sodium Carbonate 67.5g
Potassium Bromide 2.5g
all in a liter of water.
I substituted 5g of CD-3 as the color developer.
Normal DK-20 dev time in 20c water is 15 minutes, so I did that. pH of the color dev was 10.34 so I raised that to 10.6 with potassium hydroxide. Suggested time was 15 min at 20c.
I use dnormal pot fer bleach for 5 minutes and fixed for 5 minutes with Ammonium Thiosulfate fixer.
Somehow the negative is partially reversed. I noted later that he said use the DK-20 for 25 minutes at 68 degrees. Sounds like A LONG TIME. But next time I'll try that. The negatives are dark but only lightly exposed, so the first dev is probably speeding up the emulsion, I'll bracket some shots and see what happens next time. My instinct is to shorten 1st developer but I'm game to try 25 minutes.
Although it isn't what I was looking for, I love the effects. The rest of the roll to follow.
