The ingredients required for making enough Caffenol-C for the development of ten 120 films

The developer mixture described below seems to work with both black and white films (gives, obviously, black and white negs) and for colour films films that normally require a C-41 process (which results in a copper-toned negative. Note that Caffenol-C does not work for old colour films that require a C-22 process...

========================================

CAFFENOL-C

Standard receipe, taken from various sources on the net.

INGREDIENTS:

Instant Coffee (not decaf)

Washing Soda (Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3)

Ascorbic Acid Powder (Vitamin C)

Dishwashing liquid

Fixer

FORMULA

12oz water

5 teaspoons Instant Coffee

3 1/2 teaspoons washing soda (Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3)

1/2 teaspoon ascorbic acid

PREMIXED INGREDIENTS

Premix solutions can be set up. But do not premix the whole developer as it (reputedly) has a short shelf-life. For ease, create premix solutions of required strength for each of three developer ingredients so that in the end all that needs to be done is to mix equal amounts of each of the three premixes

Strength for premixes:

Instant Coffee: 10 teaspoons / 12 oz

Washing Soda: 7 teaspoons / 12 oz

Ascorbic acid:1 teaspoons / 12 oz

when ready to develop, mix required quantity in three even parts.

Small Patterson Tank

120mm roll film requires 550 ml (20 oz)--ie 3 x 7 oz for the development of a roll of 120 film (which gives 21 oz, but makes life easier).

SET UP for 120 roll:

Premix 21 oz developer (see above)

Premix 20 oz fixer

Premix 20 oz final wash (with one drop of dishwashing liquid)

DEVELOPING

Developing 16 mins (initially worked with 12 min, whch proved to short, then moved to 16 minutes)

Continuous agitation first minute

thereafter agitate 3 x / minute

Rising

3 rinse baths @ 6 x agitation each (first bath can contain some vinegar to act as stop bath)

Fixing

5 mins @ 3 agitation /minute

Final Rinse

Fill, agitate 3x

Refill, agitate 6x

Refill, agitate 12x

Refill with soapy water, agitate slowly 24x

Usually I don't buy bikes as a impulse purchase. But when we discoverd this bike I thought by myself, that it would be great to have a bike with splashguards, installed light with a hub dynamo and a carrier. Think I reach adulthood, because my other bikes are fun bikes, not compatible with the Traffic Code ;-)

Of course I will use the other bikes as well.

Frankfurt, Zeil

This hobby requires of me to start off taking a luxurious bubble bath, rubbing all sorts of nice smelling creams and perfumes all over my body, slipping into silky yummy lingerie, painting my nails, applying makeup and cosmetics, styling and arranging my wig, picking out and dressing up in a outfit, including shoes, accessories, setting up my tripod, and taking oodles of pictures of myself. Whew! I'm exhausted !

20142 was a deputy to work the tail of last Saturdays Bahamas Welsh Marches tour. Seemingly 47773 required some bodywork attention so was stood down.

Bahamas had drawn the special back into the station at Hereford and created a reasonable smokescreen. 20142 has just come to a rest and it was now time for me to make haste and return to the train before its late departure for Dorridge.

I must admit I do like the pseudo London Transport livery applied to the 20.

Required subject for me, as Regiojets weren't using this line during my last visit. Sun as a bonus.

In July and August 2015, we spent a few weeks touring the southern Italian provinces of Basilicata, Puglia and Campania.

I am i the process of uploading a selection of photographs from that trip. As usual, whenever relevant or necessary, I will write a specific caption below in bold type.

The village of Brienza is located in a particularly mountainous part of Basilicata. Overlooked by its Mediæval castle, it is an interesting place to visit. Approaching it from the South allows gorgeous viewpoints on the old sheet wall that went around the whole place in the Middle Ages, and looks like a miniature China Wall. Surely wasn't easy to defend, though, and probably required more troops than what the village would be able to supply in times of crisis...

Poem.

Sometimes, just sometimes, reality can exceed imagination.

Rarely, a moment is witnessed that requires a stern pinch, just to check that we are compos mentis.

Yes, and here……………. is such a moment.

So perfectly balanced is this scene, that maybe, it is all a dream.

That golden glow in the sky and the gently lapping bay

accompanied by the scream of scavenging gulls.

The stark, crisp, jet-black silhouettes of tree, yachts, cottages and stepped hills.

Even the seagulls on the shore are statuesque, as if mesmerised.

But no, this is Plockton at sunrise and we smile with admiration.

I would wager that there are few places in heaven or earth that exceed the perfection of this place.

Only a privileged few venture this far, but those that do……

…… don’t forget!!!

Early on Sunday morning, the cold was biting, well below zero. Bradgate Park was already busy with visitors, and in places the ground had turned white, dressed in a true winter coat. Trusting the BBC weather forecast that promised a bright, sunny day, I set off towards the park.

Almost immediately, I encountered a young male Fallow Deer (buck – Dama dama). As soon as he noticed the crowd, he stopped and, almost knowingly, posed for a few seconds. What caught my attention straight away were his antlers. The left antler showed the typical broad, palmate shape of a Fallow Deer, while the right one looked strikingly different—more like the pointed tips of a young male Red Deer.

Most likely, this unusual shape resulted from a deformation or break during the growth phase of the antler. I found it fascinating; perhaps the experienced park rangers would have more insight into the history behind this individual’s antlers.

With winter clearly arriving, migrant birds have started to appear. After recent sightings of Stonechat, Goldcrests have now begun to show themselves. I am sharing two Goldcrest photographs from this walk. Unfortunately, I experienced a technical issue with my Z8, so I am confident that on my next visit I will be able to present sharper and more varied poses of this tiny bird.

As always, my photo walks would not be complete without the Robin (European Robin / Redbreast), which once again stepped onto the path in front of me, as if keeping me company.

I am sharing a total of seven photographs and hope you enjoy them.

Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead.

Goldcrest in the UK – Short English Note

Goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is both a resident and a winter visitor in the UK. While many individuals breed locally, significant numbers arrive from northern and eastern Europe during autumn and winter, boosting the UK population. These winter migrants are often seen in woodland edges, conifers, and parks, especially after cold spells on the continent.

I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.

Thank you so much for visiting my gallery, whether you leave a comment, add it to your favorites, or simply take a moment to look around. Your support means a lot to me, and I wish you good luck and beautiful light in all your endeavors.

Charnwood Water - Loughborough – A Small sanctuary of light and Life / Charnwood Water, located on Tuckers Road in Loughborough, Leicestershire, is a 27-acre man-made lake and public park. Once a clay quarry, it has transformed into a place full of natural beauty.

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of spending countless hours here with my Nikon Z8, often paired with my long-time companion, the Nikon AF-S ED 80–200mm f/2.8D lens, capturing moments that nature so generously offers.

Wildlife in the park has grown accustomed to visitors. Robins, squirrels, and sometimes even Mandarin Ducks come surprisingly close, offering intimate photographic opportunities.

Yesterday, after months of absence, I returned hoping to see the resident Mandarin Duck pairs again. To my delight, I encountered two pairs. Although I witnessed territorial disputes between the males, seeing these vibrant and elegant birds once more within Charnwood Water was truly uplifting.

For now, I’m sharing a selection of 10 images from different moments and perspectives. As the sun appeared, it was impossible to resist capturing the pure white feathers of a swan during its grooming ritual. A robin appeared in three different poses, as if posing deliberately, while a common wood pigeon and a common blackbird were equally generous in front of the lens. The grey squirrel, however, kept its distance this time.

Wishing you a pleasant evening.

And you taught me what

this feels like.

And then how it feels to

lose it.

And you showed me

who I wanted.

And then who I wasn’t.

And you ticked every

box.

And then drew a line.

And you weren’t mine to

begin with.

And then not to end

with.

And you looked like

everything I wanted.

And then became

something I hated.

And you get thought of

every day.

And then not in a good

way.

And you let me leave.

And then wish I’d

stayed.

And you almost killed

me.

But I didn't die.

The last five months (May-September 2023) required me to move a lot for a variety of professional and personal reasons. It was the first time in several years that I entered airplanes without carrying my DSLR camera. This resulted in me tinkering and thinking with my mobile phone camera, surpassing my snobbish attitude towards it as means of photographic expression. Visiting an old favourite antique store of mine, I was exposed to wallet-sized black and white pictures, very fashionable in the 1920s-1960s. Phenomenologically, I thought, these little pictures carried significance similar to the one carried by the myriads of photos nowadays stored on mobile phones. I tried to combine the sensory experience of black and white with the ease of mobile phone shooting, itself resembling certain types of pinhole cameras. Themes are the same as in my earlier photography: decayed and rusty patterns of disintegration, emptiness of spaces, outlier figures of the everyday, street signs and letters, nonhuman friends, naturecultures, and psychopolitically haunted scenes. Places include: Canada (Toronto), Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Aghia, Larissa, Eleftheroupoli, Kavala), Scotland (Edinburgh), France (Paris), Belgium (Brussels).

My son played football in Docklands today and I got lucky with a required MMC back to London Bridge on the 381.

My bus of choice was 2615, but sister 2617 was running a couple of minutes ahead, which enabled a shot of it approaching Fisher FC’s ground on the Rotherhithe peninsula.

This batch of buses were bought for the 196 but are also used on the 45, however several were on the 381 this Sunday in preference to the officially allocated older 61 reg versions. 24.10.21.

This barn is off county road D north of Spirit Falls. There was a lot of flooding and the road was pretty washed out, but I found an angle and a bonus reflection. Christmas tree farming is popular up this way and I wonder how new it is for the barn and what kinds of crops were grown here in the past.

Finished teaching in Ebisu earlier today and wandered up through Shibuya to Shinjuku, via the Meiji Shrine. This scene seemed a perfect one to try another infra-red shot with Ken's D300 which he has loaned me for a while.

Waited a while for one of the birds to fly through, as that gap in the trees needed filling with something...

Have screen-grabbed the workflow on this shot and will put it all up on japanorama.co.uk asap. Doing a photowalk tomorrow, so I need to get to bed now.

The edges of the trees near the top of the frame have gone a bit weird. To get it perfect would require a bit more work. Really still experimenting with this camera. Will try a black and white version of this too and post it.

Dear Partner, I hope you don't mind if your little snowman arrives "Some Assembly Required". I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, I hope you are too.

Preserved former Go North East Wright Renown bodied Volvo B10BLE, 4922 (X922WGR), seen here departing from Park Lane Interchange, Sunderland, on the 29th May 2020, whilst working on behalf of A-Line Coaches on Metro Replacement service 901 to South Hylton.

4922 was acquired by A-Line during August 2017 after withdrawal by Go North East, but following the purchase of two newer vehicles at the beginning of September 2019, became surplus to requirements. It then joined the ranks of preserved north east buses when Dan Annis whose family run A-Line Coaches, restored the vehicle to its original Go North East livery as carried when new. While no longer officially part of A-Line's fleet now, 4922 does however still occasionally see service for A-Line when required to cover for other buses in the fleet that may be off the road for some reason or when an extra bus is needed.

Please note that social distancing rules were strictly adhered to in taking this photograph and at no time was any form of public transport used to reach the location to comply with the "Essential Journeys only" guidance.

Ironmaking blast furnaces require large amounts of air to be blown into the bottom of the furnace to intensify the combustion, the same way a blacksmiths forge needs air blown into it to make it hotter. That air blast, probably 40,000 CFM at around 25 psi, was provided originally by blowing engines. These were injected with natural gas and the large flywheels supplied kinetic energy. These were also used to generate electricity. These engines were in constant operation for almost 100 years except for when they were shut down for routine maintenance. If anyone has more information on these engines, I would be happy to hear from you. For a sense of the size of these engines, check out the stairs along the right side.

Today, I am told, steel mills use turbo blowers that are much smaller and operate much like jet engines. These are piston engines that operate like the compressor in your garage, on a much larger scale of course.
