Adox CMS 20
View allAll Photos Tagged CMS
A large raptor around 55-70 cms tall and weighing around 1.5 - 2.4 kg and found throughout the year in India. They are probably the smallest of the 9 species of vultures found in India. The birds are very distinctive and easily recognizable unlike some of the other vultures which are confusing to id.
This one is an adult with the full white plumage and yellowish face and beak. Immatures tend to be totally brown with a greyish face. The birds are often seen around carcass dumpyards or in the deserts where dead cattle / animals are lying rotten. In our Rajasthan trip last week, we sighted 100+ of them all around the state - they are quite common there. In fact, Rajasthan has 7 of the 9 vultures found in India. Like most vultures, this is quite shy of people, but many a time, we found very close to the nomad settlements perched on the poles or walking around on the ground.
Thanks in advance for your lovely feedback and views - much appreciated.
I've had two rolls of Adox CMS 20 II sitting on the darkroom shelf, staring at me, for two plus years now, waiting for me to act. I have hesitated, since access to the Adotech developer Adox has made specifically for this film is often difficult, and it does need a special, low contrast developer to get "continuous tone" out of it.
But yesterday I decided to do some research and I found a couple recipes for copy films in Anchell & Troop's Darkroom Cookbook and gave two a try: TDLC-103* and a modified PMK dilution. This image is from one of the TDLC-103 negatives.
The PMK negs were usable as well, but created less highlight separation than the TDLC-103, so in the future, I will just use the TDLC-103.
Photographed with my Kodak Signet 35, which has a f3.5 Ektar lens (A Tessar formula), and the aperture used here was likely f11 or f16. Talk about sharp - click on the image to see the detail. Remember - this is a 35mm negative! (from a camera made in 1954: flic.kr/p/2mXJWBf)
* basically, TDLC-103 is a very dilute D-23 with Sodium bicarbonate.
