Some Things Should Not Be Mended If You Want Your Wishes To Come True

Roll 20150320-01; Kodak Portra 400 at EI 1600; Rodinal Pretreat; Tetenal / Jobo / Unicolor C-41 Process; Nikon F2SB; 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor-S;

1. Portra 400 exposed at EI 1600.

2. Pre-Treat with Rodinal 1:100 at room temperature (~75F) for 10 minutes. 15 second initial agitation with a gentle swirl at 1' 30" only. Rinse at Pre-heat temperature of 102F for Tetenal C41 process and continue to process as normal C41 with Tetenal Kit.

Roll 20141128-01: Kodak Portra 400 Extended ISO: Hybrid Process - Rodinal & Tetenal C41: Nikon FE2: Vidalia High School vs. Greater Atlanta Christian:

Note: After experimenting a bit with stand processing B&W film in Rodinal and being very happy with the results using Tri-X at ISO 3200 I thought there may be a way to partially process C41 film to improve the look of the dark areas of underexposed Portra. I asked the question in the APUG forums. One of the members, Athiril a member here too, determined that a 10 minute stand in 1:100 Rodinal would be sufficient to do what I wanted and conducted some of his own testing, the results of which looked much better than a push or straight processing in C41 only. This roll of film was processed using that method: Rodinal at 1:100 for 10 minutes then processed normally in Tetenal C41 chemistry. The 10 minute Rodinal process was at room temperature 72F with an initial 15 second agitation followed by a gentle swirl at 1.5 minutes and at 3 minutes. The rinse was at 102F and was the first pre-heat rinse step required for the Tetenal kit. This is the first roll I’ve process using this method and I am very happy with the results. The dark areas of the scan look much better than a 2 stop + underexposure with just normal or push processing.

All shots with very little light and fisheye converter...much too hot to be out any later.

My flickr galleries blog

The cropping of the photo in a 198:940 aspect ratio was done to fit the 20 10 theme I use in my own blog.

The photo works much better in the original 3:1 crop. So its use in my blog was very short lived.
