Welcome back Antonio!

Hello !! Thank you ;-)

I think the purpose of this shot was to see if the AGAT's minimal focal distance was equal to the length of my arm, and at least at this aperture I think it is!

Wonderful!

This is a frame off the first Fomo R100 reversal film I just put through my new to me Beaulieu R16. There is a fair amount of solarisation on many of the frames.

To sync the audio, you need a clapper board. Or a hand clap. Having the remote release in one hand left me only one had to clap, so it was a head slap for syncing

Welcome to Filmwasters!

[Francois]

And solarization is never a bad thing in my book, especially when it's not just bland.

[rotarysmp]

I am guessing it was either my insufficient agitation during bleaching, or insufficient re-exposure.

[Francois]

The first bleaching step before re-exposure was insufficient. What happens is that the first image creates a masking layer for the second one.
And since the image is quite enlarged, the Mackie line appears thicker.

[rotarysmp]

Thanks for confirming that error.

[Francois]

No problem. And BTW it isn't an error it's a creative alteration 😉

I signed up a few weeks ago but didn't introduce myself yet. So…
Hi from France,
I started dabbling with film only a few years ago, but already fell in love with many ways to waste it:
- Expired film;
- Making my own Caffenol variant (rosemary-based, nicknamed "Romarinol");
- Panoramic on cropped/masked 24x36 in reloaded "panorama" disposables, toy cameras, and even some proper cameras with pano mode;
- The Xpan being absurdly expensive, I have a few projects to build Fauxpans with a 24x72 or 24x58 mask on 135 film.

This was shot on Fuji Superia 200 (exp. 2010.03) with a Ricoh 500 GX. This camera is a light leaks machine, I still have to replace its seals…

[Francois]

Bonjour Phil!
Heureux de voir tes projets.

Moi aussi j'ai déjà fabriqué un "clone" du X-Pan à l'aide d'un vieux Chinon brisé et d'un vieux folder Ansco qui était lui aussi brisé.
C'est pas aussi large que l'original mais c'est infiniment moins cher 😁
