Black and white image processed as a transparency by DR5. Olympus OM2SP, Agfa Scala exposed at ISO 200 with red filter. Scanned on a Minolta 5400 film scanner.

Street Sweeper Social Club at NIN/JA in Tampa. May 9, 2009. Nikon F5, 300mm f/4, Provia 400X developed by DR5. Push +2 to ISO 1600.
Inbound early morning BNSF/Metra train at Fairview Ave. in Downers Grove, Illinois.
The date is December 23, 2012.
Pentax 6x7 with 600mm lens on Ilford HP5. Processed as a positive by Dr5 chrome.
Grand Haven Michigan South Pier Outer Range Light and the catwalk shot into the sun in late afternoon.
DR5 reversal processed Efke 25 shot ISO 25 on a Mamyia 645AF. Scanned on an Epson V750 using Silverfast.
Jane's Addiction at NIN/JA in Tampa. May 9, 2009. Nikon F5, 300mm f/4, Ilford HP5+ developed as reversal by DR5. Push +2 to ISO 1600.
Interesting process, but fairly expensive (my seven rolls of film with a 1600 push cost $118 to process) and it took three weeks to get the film back from the lab.
As a sidenote (which says a lot about any endeavor on the Internet), I shared these photos on the Flickr DR5 group so others who use the process could see what kind of results I got in a high-contrast concert setting. A month or so later I got email from user "SAH Photo" (Stacey Hoffman at www.sahphoto.com/) saying he didn't like the similarity of the content and demanding that I remove most of them from the pool. I looked to see if he was a moderator or group owner and he wasn't, so I replied and told him I didn't see him listed as a moderator. He replied and said, "Don't be a bitch." I removed a few of the photos I had in the group that seemed very similar and then today (July 28, 2009) I received notice that I'd been banned from DR5 and he's now a moderator. Whatever. It has greatly lessened my desire to use the DR5 process. That kind of snarky, cliquishness makes me feel like I'd be better off focusing my efforts on activities where feedback and collaboration are more prevalent. Life's too short to waste time interacting with that kind of people.
I mentioned this altercation to David Wood, who owns DR5. He said he knows Stacey Hoffman very well. He said that if I decided to stop using his DR5 process it was my loss. It's good to know what kind of people are behind this business. I guess that's a loss I can live with.
Update: Today (16 June, 2010) I received mail from David Wood. He said he was distressed at the "concocted comments" posted here and demanded that I remove all mention of him and his lab from my photos at once. He concluded with, "I'll not ask again." I'm not sure if this is a veiled threat or not, but it just reaffirms what I'd already suspected about Mr. Wood and his methods.
Update: Received via Flickr from David Wood on 17 June 2010:
truth? what did we do to you but process your film, & do a good job at that..?
you will remove your uncalled for remarks, that we had nothing to do with, or you will be hearing from my attorney.
I have your address and place of work. dont make me follow through.
am I clear.
Update: Email received from David Wood (info2@dr5.com) on 17 June 2010:
Sir
I have no idea what prompted your attack on our lab and me personally. Are you sane?
We did nothing but a top job for you and this is how you have repaid us, by posing negative comments I had nothing to do with.
What is it that you wanted from me that prompted this action? I have no clue what I could have done to prompt this?
Are you a grown man or a juvenile?
If you do not remove your uncalled for comments I will be forced to take legal action against you.
Please don’t make me go this route!
If you have not kindly removed this content , that has already been up for a year, by the weekend, I will instruct my attorney to file damages in court on Monday morning. You will then have to appear here in Colorado.
I still might sue you for all the time those have been up, but in the mean time you better take the comments down.
We had nothing to do with your issue! This is a very childish thing for you to have done and you will pay for it if you do not correct it.
A public apology might be a good place to start.

Arca-Swiss 4x5, Nikon 75mm lens, Efke 25 film in dr5 process, scanned on Epson flatbed.
3/365 Today's installment. I think I am going to reshoot this. It was the old when you see it on the big screen there are things that you miss. A bit much on the PP and I know I'm better than that. Always good to practice good ol' Photoshop but I would rather do it for something creative rather than some cleaning up of the tracks so to speak. Overall its a decent image but I gots me some new idears.

What is it that you wanted from me that prompted this action? I have no clue what I could have done to prompt this?
Are you a grown man or a juvenile?
If you do not remove your uncalled for comments I will be forced to take legal action against you.
Please don’t make me go this route!
If you have not kindly removed this content , that has already been up for a year, by the weekend, I will instruct my attorney to file damages in court on Monday morning. You will then have to appear here in Colorado.
I still might sue you for all the time those have been up, but in the mean time you better take the comments down.
We had nothing to do with your issue! This is a very childish thing for you to have done and you will pay for it if you do not correct it.
A public apology might be a good place to start.
The Holy Grail.
there are 3 ways to do this:
1. find Technidol and expose it at 25asa.
2. expose at 25asa and send to dr5 labs for development.
3. expose at 100asa and use the custom recipe for development, the one I wrote recently on my stream.
