More black-and-white photos

I've taken some more photos (3 rolls of 120 and 1 roll of 35mm) since my last post; here are some that I liked:





The last two were with a 20mm lens on 35mm film and I thought the exaggerated sense of perspective was interesting. The last one was a handheld 1/8 second exposure so I took a couple shots (because processing this film is cheap!) and just hoped for the best. I should've turned on the oscilloscope and captured an interesting waveform, though. Note the computer desktop background!

I don't know if this is a limitation of the film format, my equipment, or my scanning, but the medium-format photos (the first three) show a lot more detail and less grain than the 35mm photos.

Developing 120 black-and-white film

Revision history


2012/04/23: Initial release.
Notes from development: Increase duration of continuous wash. Consider switching to 1+3 developer dilution with 22 min. development time. Also consider reducing development time. Also, developer ended at 22°C.

2012/05/01: Increased continuous wash duration to 5 minutes. Added note to minimize handling of developer tank.
Notes from development: Started developer temp at 19.5° to allow for heating; ended at 21°C. Some artifacts along top edge of film ("top" relative to coiled cylinder inside the developing tank), see this example.
