“Bridal Veil Falls, Columbia Gorge, Oregon, June 2023.”

©2023 Gary L. Quay

2023 has been a good year for my film photography. I have stopped taking my digital camera along on many hikes and outings. This is from a hike in June 2023. The actual trail is fairly short, but it can be extended to the railroad tracks by the freeway, and back up to the viewpoints at the top, at which point it is close to a mile. I wanted to recreate my "Bridal Veil With a Splash of Sun" picture from 1999, but I could not find the exact viewpoint because the trees are vastly different now. This one got pretty good, though.

ADOX HC110, FPP-110 & Why You Might Want To Use An Alternative to Kodak HC110

by Johnny Martyr After more than half a century of providing the film community with a cheap, long-lasting, easy-to-use and beautiful b&w film developer, Kodak have encountered some issues with HC110 over the last few years that have left me rethinking my use of this iconic product.

First attempt at home developing/scanning. Stress marks on the negatives, kinked the film loading the reel, and cut it it in the wrong place, but overall a success. I've never had a roll shot, processed, and saved all in one day before.

Ilford Delta 100, Pentax KX, SMC-M 35-70 2.8-3.5, Ilfotec DD-X.

Scanned on a Kodak Slide-N-Scan, which I would not recommend. It's what I had on hand.

It's convenient and fast, but the image quality is not good and it doesn't capture a very wide latitude in the scan. You kind of have to choose between crushed shadows and blown-out highlights.

Half-frames ... in cyanotype? :-)

Yes, half-frames in cyanotype! :D

Tools... Canon Autoboy Tele 6, half-frame mode. Fomapan 100. Ilfotec HC. Lariceo brand cyanotype chemicals on watercolor paper, rinsed with regular tap water. Two panes of plexiglass to keep it all sandwiched.

Design notes... I'm grateful for the Tele 6's half-frame mode, autofocus, and autoflash, but boy, I really wish this point-and-shoot were more reliable. Even shooting in full-frame mode last week, it stopped advancing 3 times and I had to restart it each time, resulting in blank frames there.

Developing times for Fomapan 100 and Arista EDU 100 seem to be wildly different on the online chart, with 7 minutes for the former and 13 minutes for the latter. Well, I overagitated for 13 minutes, thinking these development times were interchangeable (they're literally the same film, the latter is an American repacking of the former). Not a good combo when, apparently, Fomapan/Arista EDU already has higher tonal contrast than other films. I most likely blew out my highlights, which is why you see the huge chunks of white below. Next time, I'm definitely developing for 7 minutes — or less.

Painting and drying the cyanotype compound onto the watercolor paper was as easy as can be, but I had to spend most of the day waiting for the rain to clear up, and waiting for my final package of plexiglass panes to arrive. I sat it out facing directly to the sun for 15 minutes around 6:45pm today. I think this printing exposure was actually fine -- certain images, like the one of my desk (#24) or lunchtime (#34) were tack-sharp and well-exposed.

I'm also shooting a roll of (leftover) Ilford HP5 400 through my recently-arrived Olympus Pen S, also a half-frame, but I'm even less confident in the metering for this next batch of negatives, since I'm metering by eye with Sunny 16. Sunny 16 is actually a very good rule of thumb that I've used successfully on my Canon RP w/ modern amenities, but with vintage cameras, you never know if the shutter or the aperture is 100% functional. (I'll tell you, though, this Pen S is a real cutie. It literally fits in the palm of my hand.) Ultimately, I'll have to develop and see.

Overall, this first-try turned out much better than I thought. I thought I would have a uniform grid of white squares, but there's enough detail here to help me decide which ones (or doubles!) I want to properly enlarge at my campus' darkroom this Wednesday.

Enough is Enough-9 by fishyfish_arcade Via Flickr: Olympus OM-1N Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 Auto-S Ilford Delta 3200 (@800) Ilfotec DD-X 1+4 7mins @ 20° On Saturday 1 October 2022 a number of demonstrations and marches were held in towns and cities across the UK in protest of the cost of living crisis engulfing the country. This was further driven by the disastrous "mini budget" that had been delivered by the new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, and her Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng which effectively benefited the wealthiest in society. Such was the impact of this budget on the financial markets and support amongst the government, Conservative Party, opposition parties, and the general public that the Chancellor and Prime Minister were both forced to resign, making Liz Truss the shortest serving PM in UK history, lasting just seven weeks.

“Lower Lewis River Falls, October 2024.”

©2024 Gary L. Quay

We went to Lower Lewis River Falls for the very first time this Fall, and while the water was running a bit low, it was worth the effort. A return trip is required once the rains come in earnest.

For this one, I wanted to catch the reflections of the trees in the water, dropped the tripod down to its lowest position that my knees would take, and gave it a nice, long exposure.

If you look hard, there’s a woman standing under the trees on the left side of the picutre. She later got into the river, and did what looked like meditation. It’s a good scene for that.

#Плёс! Входит в топ городов нашей поездки! Прекрасный, акварельный и холмистый городок. Левитан сделал хороший выбор, для своих пленэров. В этом городе восстановили много домов в традиционном стиле, очень симпатичные церквушки окружённые березами и конечно же Волга! Волга прекрасна! Вообще по ней ходит много ракет 👌🏻 но на них мы так и не покатались, зато прокатились на катере 🌊 📸 #minoltaxd 🎞 #ilfordpanf50 #ilfoteclc29 #Minolta#minoltaceltic35mm#rokkor55mmf17#rokkorqe100mmf35#ilford#ilfotec#ilfordpanf#lc29#35mmfilm#плёнкаспасибочтоживой #iribotravel (at Плёс) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQDpeOnJ11/?utm_medium=tumblr

Annoyingly, some images have vertical surge marks from agitating too harshly during development, but not too harshly to write them off completely

No forma parte de las tablas que preconizan otras marcas o tipos de químicos para desarrollar el Rollei Superpan 200, por eso doy aquí el método que logré descubrir experimentando, para obtener este negativo con un Ilfotec LC29. No todos tienen el dinero para comprar dos o tres tipos de quimicos de marcas diferentes y siendo este uno de los mas baratos, siempre puede servir a otros.
