    I’m the featured photographer of the week over at 591. Check it out!

    photology101:

    The last time I developed my own film, Bill Clinton was president.  I have to say I was a bit nervous when I shut off the lights and tried to get the film on the stainless steel reels after being out of practice for so long.  This was one of the last photos I snapped off before developing 8 rolls last Friday night with Ilford Ilfosol-3.  What kind of developer do you all use to process your Kodak Tri-X?  Please let me know if there’s something better.  When I was in school I used Kodak D-76 because it was cheap, but now I kind of like the liquid mix.  I think it’s a little easier to mix.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice man.. good to see you developing again :)

    I also used to use D76 back when so when I started back up again in Jan. I got X-Tol. Similar to D76, powder, easy to mix, slightly tighter results imo (but then again it was along time since I used D76). After I went through that I thought I’d give HC-110 a shot. I’ve only developed 2 rolls in it so far, but I’m liking it. Easy to mix up the syrup for a one-shot and you got a bunch of different dilutions you can use depending on what your after. Dil B (1:31) if your in a hurry, or H (1:63) if you don’t wanna be changing fluids in 90mph :), for instance. Very easy to use and looks good. I won’t give a final verdict over X-Tol until I’ve put some more rolls through tho.

    Another roll through the Felica (check here for more about the project and the Felica) to start off the last week of the first three week period (I’ll probably squeeze in another roll before weeks end tho)…

    More on my homepage.

    a bunch of oldies..!

    Time for some more Felica photos. I took it out the other day during some really crappy weather and tried to take some decent pics, I think I got a couple, nothing really special tho.

    (via The 3 Week Photo Project - 1:1/3 | magOwl)

    I’ve decided to fire up a little photo project that will span one year, and I started it Feb. 1st. Here’s the breakdown… I will pick a camera every three weeks, take 1-2 rolls of film each week with it and post the results here (a selection, not every photo). I’ll also post any development times and things of that nature and anything else I feel might be of interest. Maybe some reflections and thoughts about the pictures, film, cameras, processing, technique aso as well.

    Why three weeks, well it’s due to the number of film cameras I currently own (10), or that I can borrow (a couple), leaving some room for me to buy a couple more over the year to fill in the blanks. It comes out to around 17 different cameras all in all. If I for some reason find more bargains, then I might shorten it from three weeks to two later on. Anyways.. let’s get on with it…

    Peace.

    The Nikon FE2 arrived earlier this week and I’ve put two test rolls through it, one Tri-X 400 which I pushed to 1600 and one roll of Portra 800…

    Click the link to read the rest and check out a few shots from the test rolls.

    This randomly came on earlier today.. so good.
