...wondering where the stain came from, any ideas?

IME it's usually incorrect fixing, possibly washing.  Fixer may be understrength, exhausted, insufficient volume or insufficient time.  Suggest check the manufacturer's data sheet as a start - if you haven't already ruled all these possibilities out that is.

PS, can try re-fixing & washing, if things clear up then you know what the problem was.

Hi Dave, thanks for the input - hmm well the strength and volume of the fix was correct and time was 5 minutes.
I'll re-fix a frame and see what happens.

Love the Horses series! What are you developing with, I agree the fixer could be knackered.

Hi DD, developed using ILFORD ID-11!

Wow, is it my mood or is this a particularly fantastic weekend thread batch of photos?

Glad I could remind you of home, Christopher! That was my first time in New Orleans & I kind of fell head over heels for the place. Helps that I'm a jazz fanatic--I made a pilgrimage to Congo Square! It's an extremely photogenic city. I'll be back!

Alan, I totally love your horses project! How many shots do you have all together?

Thanks Tani, 7 of 8 shots all in! i think i will limit it to 6 6x6 frames next time ?

windy - nice holga shots, would love sometime to give the 35mm film a spin
through my holgas.

Rich815 - that is one S H A R P shot, really nice

Super work from all the Tree huggers  nice!

Nice pinholes TinTin - love the colouring too

Andrej that second image is amazing!

Taken earlier in the week, on Franklin Canyon Road near Martinez, California. Had just gotten my Tele-Rolleiflex back from a focus check....

This is magical, Rich. Really beautiful.

Thanks.  Like that Mamiya one of yours of the bark above.  Very nice.

The sun managed to come out in Sussex yesterday too. So out came the Linhof and some FP4. I had to treat the 'Hof to some WD40 as it has had so many days out in the rain recently, it was getting sticky and rusty. The bellows are on their last legs too (if bellows have legs?)

Newick Windmill - the conservators, removed the acro-metal supports, turned the mill to a good position for me to take this pic, I owe them some prints! Mill is from the 1750s with the central support dated from a previous mill in the 1500s.

Terrific windmill shot!  Stunning.

A few from this past weekend. I have been taking a few shots of abandoned and disused military bases. These are inside an aircraft hanger at the former Alameda Naval Air Station in Alameda, near San Francisco. Taken with my Rolleiflex 2.8E on Delta 400 Pro.

Love these.  Especially the last one.  I've shot here at night and like going to TI sometimes too.  Would love access to some of these places.  How'd you get inside?  We should go shooting sometime....

A spanking start to the weekend. I think late Thursday will pass 

Hasselblad 501 and Kodak Ektar. Unfinished hotel in Crete.

Love the subtle color here.  It's shots like this that give me the color itch again...

[Rich815]

Goop..

Very cool image.

[Rich815]

Always glad when Friday comes!

A pinhole from me this week.

Portland Bill • Zero 2000 • Ilford Delta 100



Paul

Holy cow!  Gorgeous!  Time to dust off my Zero 6x9...

[Rich815]

It's snowy and cold today, but at least there's a little blue coming after it.  Have a great weekend everyone.  The pics in this thread are wonderful.




(Yashicamat with Portra)

Since I'm 98% B&W lately I've considered selling off a nice batch of 120 Portra I have frozen, but then I see shots like this and I decide to keep it.

Love both of these....wow.

Hi Dave, thanks for the input - hmm well the strength and volume of the fix was correct and time was 5 minutes.
I'll re-fix a frame and see what happens.

5 minutes is good for most films if using rapid fixer (ammonium thiosulphate based) at 1+4, will need longer if using sodium thiosulphate based like Kodak fixer.  Good luck!

Wales had its second weekend day of sunshine this year on the 3rd Feb, so an opportunity to play with two cams, one new, and one very new.



Same old Trix, tho.
