Ricoh Diacord L with expired RolleiPan 25 developed in Beer.  I really need to clean my messy office.

Three shots from a trip to North Yorkshire last week, with HP5+ in a Yashicamat 124G. Developed in HC110 Dilution B.

Continuing the HP5/HC110 theme, here's a shot from my first official photowalk since COVID I took a walk with the photographer formerly known as L.A. Nolan (now known as Lanre Nunyala) in a neighborhood in Brooklyn called "The Hole". Possibly the sh***iest neighborhood I've seen. A few residences, but mostly junkyards (intentional or not? I don't know) and large puddles that approach ponds in size and age (and algae). Oh, also the spot where a bunch of Mafia murders were dumped.

I used my 1920s Brownie Autographic No.2 for true vintage vibe Note: only the first shot is from The Hole; the second is from a nearby neighborhood, Cypress Hills/East New York. Also not the greatest of neighborhoods, but downright suburban compared to The Hole I should post the rest of my shots in photo essays ... stay tuned.

I look forward to seeing more of the 1920s Brownie Autographic No.2 shots in the essay.  I recently posted a video about Percy Grainger’s (The composer/pianist, not the industrial supply company) use of the same camera:  https://percygraingeramerica.org/blog/9300949

Blaxton, I really like your "freak show" and the results you get with Fomapan 100. It's almost unbelievable that one can still get such good film for so little money.

[Blaxton]

Thanks Kai.  For me, Fomapan and Caffenol combine to make the least expensive negatives.  I don’t know that the “success rate” is any higher than other methods but I like the repeatability.

I must admit that caffenol and fomapan definitely work well together. It's the only way I found to make Fomapan 400 really sing.
