Kodak Gold 200 @ 400, pushed processed +1 (4:40mins.)
Home Developed in Argentix/Unicolor
Scanned with Pakon F135
I can get Kodak Gold 200 fairly easily and for an okay price near me, but 400 ISO film is a bit harder and more expensive to get, so I tried pushing and push processing Gold 200, because 400 is handy for fall and winter light conditions. I got a couple of shots in sunny conditions, some in undercast conditions, and a few indoors too, and while the grain is not bad, the shadows need to come out a bit more. The film can possibly have more time in the developer or I can scan with my Epson V550 where I can do more adjustments, but my Pakon F135 is so convenient and I like the colours from it.

This is from the first roll I've shot with my new - to me - Nikon F2 and 35mm f/2.8 pre-ai nikkor. Camera in really good shape apart from the meter that takes 1-2 minutes to warm up and turn on :) The lens is quite beaten up - front element is missing most of the coating and has loads of scratches - but still takes sharp images with nice contrast.

I really liked the lines the cars made in the snow and only had to wait little before the couple crossing the road came my way.
The windows of Mary Armentrout's "Milk Bar" at the Sunshine Biscuit Factory.
This was taken during one of the weekends of her "the woman invisible to herself " show which is a site specific performance installation in and around the old Sunshine Biscuit Factory in Oakland, CA by Dance-Theater Choreographer Mary Armentrout. I have done work with Mary in various capacities (on and off stage) for the past decade and the thing I love about her work is that it is very abstract yet extremely accessible to the non-artist (i.e. you can see her work and be able to "get it" without being an MFA), yet not so dumbed down to not be poignant to career artists as well. On this show I'm setting up and operating all the A/V gear and this go around she let me bring my Hasselblad to do a little shooting during the performance.
This is my first time shooting Kodak's new Portra 400 pushing it two stops to 1600ASA. This is shot via available light on the rooftop of the old factory just before sunset. This shot has strange contrasts and colors (mostly because of the setting sunlight) but the grain structure is practically invisible. Surprisingly sharp for a 400 C41 film pushed to 1600. I'll be trying more of this!

Pentax Super Program, Pentax-M 50mm f/1.8, Tmax 400 @ 1600 ISO, D76 1+1, 18.5' @ 69f (20.5c). Scanned with Plustek OpticFilm 7600i.
Pentacon Six TL w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 120mm f/2.8 and Kodak Tri-X @ EI 800 (Kodak Xtol 1:0, Ilford rapid fixer). f/4, 1/30s. Epson V600 and EpsonScan @ 4800 dpi, downsized to 2400 dpi. Retouched and cropped.
This was the first time that I used the Pentacon Six on my cheapo tripod. As long as you hold the camera with both your hands it gives a crisp sharp image. I press my thumbs towards film back. Unfortunately did the model move during this shot, so she's a bit fuzzy halfway through.That's one of the problems with longer shutter speeds.
The film was developed for 11m30s (8m45s + 15%², ie ~32%, for reusage of Xtol) at 19,4 °C.

Pushing APX400 to 1066 wasn't trivial, I extrapolated the development time from available data and gave it a shot using D76. Think I got it right:)
Near Ujazd, a small Polish town that suffered 70% destruction in WW2, there stood a picturesque old manor I loved photographing. Recently, it was razed to the ground. So while passing the grounds on a freezing (-15C) morning, the view previously blocked by the house was open, and here's what I saw!

My attempt at the non-conventional group shot before the digital group ones were taken properly. This one works less as a wedding photo probably but i like it more :)

Pentacon Six TL w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f/2.8 and Kodak Tri-X @ EI 800 (Kodak Xtol 1:0, Ilford rapid fixer). f/4, 1/60s. Epson V600 and EpsonScan @ 4800 dpi, downsized to 2400 dpi. Retouched and cropped.
I got a bit lucky to shoot with this particular model. She only did two shoots during her short stay in Sweden. She had just walked London Fashion week and was about to fly back to Hong Kong.
With a super-experienced model like this you really eat through the film like crazy. Although the medium format photos didn't turn out to be the best, it made her slow down her pace.
The light was really disappointing. It was what we in Swedish call "grĂ¥mulet" (compact grey cloody weather). So the only way to create contrast and shades in the image was to place the model near a street light. Thank goodness I wasn't shooting colour!
This was the first time I pushed Tri-X to 800. I had developed two batched of TMax400 in the same developer, so at 22.0 degrees it turned out to be 7m45s. I calculated the developing time by doing an average of the times for EI 400 and EI 1600, that is 6m45s, and then adding the apporpriate compensation (+15%) for reusing the developer. All in all, 7m45s.

Just to put this film though it's paces I exposed this 200 speed film at 800 and developed it accordingly. As expected the grain increased but it held detail reasonably well for such a push. The light was wonderful, no fill, just rainy day window light. Except for removal of a dust bit or two this is a non post corrected scan.
