One of the favorite emulsions is Foma Retropan 320, especially when it comes to shooting grasses. Even with fast exposures, the grass seems to have some movement.
Part of this is due to the depth of field, but a lot of just goes to the grain structure of the film.
Except that this isn't Retropan, it's regular old Fomapan 100. The trick here is the developer. Normally, I use Retro Special for Foma 100. It tends to be a bit contrasty, but I like the look, generally.
Foma 100 in this developer leans towards the softer look of Retropan. And with a yellow filter, it allows me to shoot it at 50iso or even 25! This means shooting wide open (or closer to it).
Typically, with this developer, the lighter grays are a bit more spread out, but the sky here was pretty bright and I probably didn't meter as well as I should.

a "failed" polaroid using a Spectra multiplier lens filter and my cat turned into an emulsion lift which gave the impression of angel wings, added a few inked lines to bring out the vision
I'm sort of surprised Ilford still makes Delta. It's a competetor against Kodak's Tmax, an emulsion loved by many. Delta, however, gets a bum rap.
But I wonder if anyone could really tell them apart in side-by-side, double blind testing. Sure, folks say they could, but could they?
Also of note: I can't.

Finally got around to spending some time working out the image corrections needed for printing on Polaroid B&W iType on the Polaroid Lab Printer.
Then spent some more time getting the lift process "perfected". The B&W film has a milky coating (which doesn't appear to come off) on what would be the top side which reduces contrast of the lifts. I "fixed" this by flipping my images before printing and mounting the lifts milky side down.
Very fresh prints and very hot water make the separation of Polaroid layers quite simple.

Chloride silver gelatin emulsion on watercolour paper.
To make the emulsion:
1) Dissolve 3g potassium chloride in 135ml distilled water. Gently stir in 25g gelatin. Allow to sit for 30 minutes.
2) Dissolve 5g silver nitrate in 25ml distilled water.
3) Melt the salted gelatin by warming to 50 Celsius in a water bath.
4) Under safelight, while stirring the salted gelatin vigorously, slowly trickle the silver nitrate solution into it. Keep stirring vigorously for 10 minutes.
5) Leave the solution to sit in the dark for 30 minutes at 50 Celsius.
6) Slowly stir in 35ml standard strength vodka and 8 drops of wetting agent.
Decant it into a lightproof container and keep in the fridge. It'll keep for 4-5 weeks. Warm to 40 Celsius in a water bath to melt for coating.
