WP GP40 3540 races across the wide open spaces near Franklin California in May 1977. At this point the developers had not built neighborhoods full of cookie cutter tick tacky homes, which now impede making of any similar photos today.

In PORTO and throughout Portugal are buildings like this-
prime location(s) along the Douro River,
close to other Investment opportunities,
but- because of layers of burdensome Bureaucratic B.S.-
these buildings- sit, undeveloped while housing and especially affordable housing remains a scarcity here,
as in many parts of developed world today.

A couple of frames to illustrate the point of the Divided D76H, highlight preservation. The Courtyard has lovely shiny tiles so reflects the light beautifully and it was kind when I walked past. The stairs were a sunny sixteen challenge as well. There the lamp isn't blown out yet there is great shadow detail.
The developer is actually a variant on the Vestal divided D76. He couldn't remember on mixing if the sulphite went in A or B bath so split between them. The H is added as this formula looses the Hydroquinone but boosts the metol and borax, I ran 5mins in both baths with continuous gentle agitation.

This represents a technical comparison between two developers: Karl Matthias' custom designed 2B-1 Divided developer, and PMK Pyro.
This image is from the 120 format Adox CHS 100 II negative developed in PMK Pyro for 9 minutes at standard dilution. The half of the roll developed in 2B-1 had about a stop more density in general than the PMK half of the roll, which was no surprise, as PMK is known for sucking up some of the exposure, and 2B-1 is stated as delivering a speed boost between 1/2 and 1 stop.
Even though the PMK negative had significantly less density overall (and less shadow information) it scanned very well and editing produced an excellent result. Overall, I prefer the PMK negative for its handling of tonality and its treatment of grain. If you look closely at the brightest sections of the Quince, you can see a conspicuous difference in the grain structure in this image VS the 2B-1 image: the latter has much more coarse grain visible. But these details are noticeable only upon close inspection - otherwise the results of both developers is fairly similar.
It just goes to show that 95% of the characteristics of a negative are inherent in the film type, and there's not a lot the photographer can do to significantly alter those traits through processing.

I thought I'd put 125 ISO film in the camera and measured exposure based on that. Had to push the film during development.
Note to self: If using this camera again maybe try some 400 ISO film to get some faster shots. Maximum shutter speed is only 1/100th but on this day I could only get 1/25th or 1/50th and that was with ne thinking I had 125 ISO film in it. (Camera does not accept a tripod)

Backyard area of a 4-plex unit, building was halted before this one was even finished on the inside. The framed walls can be seen through the patio the doorway. Multiple backyards in what was supposed to be a semi high end 4-plex housing develpment. To date a total of 37 units were built and currently are in some state of completion as they were when work was halted. Doomed from the start due to no county building permits, some units being built in a flood zone and the spending of loan money on the developers sons wedding not to mention floating a loan to a relative to start up a car dealership.

My plans around Watford rapidly changed when I visited Cassiobury Park and discovered they were in the process of moving a few dinosaurs around. You know how it goes.
This was a grab shot through the car window before I parked up properly and shows a Triceratops, or at least a Homo sapiens interpretation of it, being transported in the park.
I now know that it forms part of 'Jurassic Encounters' which consists of around 50 automated dinosaurs that move their jaw and limbs and growl - it lasts from 2nd to 18th April 2022.
Despite the event name, the Triceratops did not roam the planet in the Jurassic era, coming much later in the Late Cretaceous period, and only existed about two million years prior to the Mass Extinction.

Testing times for D96 developer, I found this guy fishing on the Blanchard River. It's rare to see the river that low and to be able to steps on the falls, it would be even more rare if that guy caught anything.
Camera: Canon A-1, 50mm f1-4.
Film: Polypan F, ISO 50, expired 2015. FPPD-96 developer, 68 Degree, 8 minutes, 30 seconds, slow but continuous agitation in the Lab Box.
These arrived today and I'm excited!
Found a new "local" place for film goodies; it's on Vancouver Island, but one-day delivery to Metro Vancouver. I ordered some Blazinal, my go to developer for B&W; a new B&W developer called Black/White & Green; and some iso 100 Lomography in 120 format.
Blazinal is used exactly the same as Rodinal. I don't know if it's the same formula, just re-packaged, but it's very easy to use and reliable, and the bottle I'm still using was opened June 6, 2021, so it has good shelf life.
I'm very interested to use this Black/White & Green developer. It's made in Canada by Flic Film, and described as having long shelf-life and to give sharp negatives with fine grain. Apparently, it's not as sharp as Rodinal and it gives a less contrasty negative. For me however, the only downside, from what I've read, is that it takes longer to work its magic; Ilford HP5+ for example, takes 15.25 minutes at the 1:49 instructed dilution at 20°C. In Blazinal (Rodinal), it takes 6 minutes in 1:25 dilution at 20°C. I'll try B/W&G this weekend and see!
This picture was developed with E6 chemistry that had been sitting out at room temperature since February. Quite the vintage look even though this is fresh Provia 100F slide film.
After my first trip to Hocking Hills last April, there have been an additional 4 trips made, and it's all due to the scenery!
A sight common to many who've visited Hocking Hills, the Upper Falls are the main attraction on the trail I've been photographing each time I visit. There's a lovely old bridge that crosses these coursing falls, and even in the "off season", manages to move a healthy amount of water.
My favorite part of the Upper Falls isn't the falls themselves, but the serene, shallow pond that the falls run into. In this particularly wide view, I tried my best with a combination of long exposure and front tilt to demonstrate both aspects of the falls.

Taken on Mamiya 7 II and Kentmere 100 film on 5 January 2025. The sun was very low, just a few degrees above the horizon. The film was developed in the new SPUR Omega developer (1+18, 12 min) and printed on Ilford MGRC deLuxe in Moersch SE4 developer.
