Not a lot of positive subject matter up here in the frozen north during the winter, as far as I'm concerned.

What would be a good developing tank and reels to ask for for Christmas? Both 120 and 35mm. Any particular changing bag that's head and shoulders above the rest?

I like Paterson tanks. I used metal ones on occasion in high school and always remember hating them.

I use Paterson tanks but definitely needed the Arista reel that has the wider flanges. The standard one is absolutely horrible and will devour and mangle a roll of 120.

Holistic Detective posted:Anyone tried developing HP5+ at 1600? I've got a roll I decided to shoot at 1600 but having loaded it into the tank and pulled out my bottle of Ilfosol 3 I've found that the Massive Dev Chart only has times for 200, 400, 800 and 3200. I'm assuming that somewhere midway between the 13.5 for 800 and the 24.5 for 3200 should be about right but it would be good to be certain. Finally got around to developing this. Because I'm a lazy cheapskate I decided to ignore most of the thread's advice and just push it using the Ilfosol 3 I have. Actually pretty pleased with how it came out:  Stuck Leaf by Tim Breeze, on Flickr Granted, I've never tried pushing anything before so that might be a ludicrous amount of grain for film pushed to 1600. I'll post a few more once I've got them processed. edit: A few more  Flower by Tim Breeze, on Flickr  Fishmonger's Window by Tim Breeze, on Flickr  Kitty! by Tim Breeze, on Flickr Not really sure what happened with this one:  Hands by Tim Breeze, on Flickr Holistic Detective fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Dec 7, 2013 |

Any good free/cheapware suggestions for scanning and processing into individual frames? Should I just use the HP software? I haven't gotten a Vx00 yet. Hoping to get one for xmas, but I have some stuff to scan before.

You're doing the right thing here. I have a slightly more expensive JOBO branded hose, but it does the same thing. It creates turbulence and then forces the water through the tank, thus it washes your film better and quicker than you ever could manually. Cuts wash time in half, too. Less drying spots, wastes less water. It's win squared!

If you don't know how to shoot in a Canadian winter, I don't know what's wrong with you. From a couple of years ago, I'm way behind on developing.

how do you expose velvia in those conditions (ie: all white snow terrains)? do you leave it rated at 50

Ive just been reading a lot about velvia being rated at 40 or 32. Would it be safer to leave it at 50?

I am so wary of pushing/pulling slide film as I've never got a decent result. Saying that, I've never shot Velvia 50 so I say go for it! Photography's all about trying weird stuff.

I've found that with my camera's metering rating velvia 1/3 under (both 50 and 100, so at 40 and 80) and doing standard development gives better results. Maybe do some experimentation with a roll and figure what works for you?

I can't develop while I'm down south is all. I was just worried that rated slower it was going to overexpose especially in really intense all-white/bright high-UV conditions like this where the sun is not really a 'winter sun' and it's high & bright as all poo poo: TBOY1-s by Alex Gard, on Flickr

I have a few rolls of some generic c-41 color film I've been meaning to get developed. I'm getting an Epson scanner in a month or so, so if I just want the film developed and the negatives back, is CVS or something similar safe enough?

I'm getting ready to finally buy a scanner too. Is there anything else I might need along with it? Something to wipe down the negatives before scanning, or any other quality of life sort of accessories?

Yeah, get some nice gloves for handling your negs, like the kind you see dudes at auctions wearing, a can of compressed air, one of those glasses cloths for the bed of the scanner and a film mask if one doesn't come with the scanner.

It's not like Velvia makes your snow look more like snow.

Or just underexpose like you're supposed to when shooting slide films and also when you're shooting a subject that is either backlit or extremely bright or where the average reading isn't actually middle grey (i.e. snow or beaches). Slides are an additive process, when you blow the highlights they aren't pushed up onto the shoulder, they just go clear and they're gone. I've used Provia in snowy environments and it looks fine, you just can't treat it like negative film because the latitude is quite narrow.

Still getting used to the new scanner. Although it does mean I may never learn to judge a negative via loupe (Inverted 50mm) and lightbox (white screened tablet.)

Velvia would be fine in Antarctica and so is minor overexposure.

Shoot slide film all 24-hour-daylight day long. You're doing well, and I'm jealous you get to go and be bored at the bottom of the world.

Sup filmgoons. Started seeing a lady who's into film and it prompted me to get into the attic and pull out my old Nikon FE. Bashed the dent out of the floorplate which was causing the film advance to stick and loaded up some Delta 3200 because it's dark when I'm not at work and theres all the christmas nightlife going on.    (Mostly) straightened floor plate. Think I did this falling down a mountain in Andorra when I was skiing. Grabbed a developing tank and some chemicals from my old dark room kit too. I think most of them are expired by at least a year. Am I going to get crazy results?

Seeing as the wet printing thread has fallen into the ether, I'll post these here. I'm starting to get into some alt printing processes, and these are the first few I've made using the Argyrotype process:   They're made using some Foma 100 4x5 negs contact printed with a cheap photo frame and some sunlight. I'm hoping to get into salt printing with wet plate negs, but I'll need to work up to that.
