Looks almost like a reflection pass from a 3d render.

Well, you can't get more dark and moody than this

Dev'd in xtol AND parodinal? Together or sequentially? And why?

Together. And why does the man climb the mountain?

Seriously though, I did it because the internet told me to. The idea being that you get the fine grain of X-tol AND the accutance of rodinal all rolled into one neat developer. Did it work? I really have no idea.

Personally I would have been more tempted to use a low contrast developer as the lith film is already pretty contrasty to start with.
I read somewhere that that film is in the 6 to 12 ISO range... but looking at the results you got you'd never know.

I see interesting things in your future. And possibly a viral YouTube video and/or an arrest record.

Is "the internet told me to" the new "the voices in my head told me to"?

Clearly. No matter how many voices there are in your head, you still get blamed. If the internet's at fault, you're in the clear. Theoretically, at least - according to my public defender.

See, that's where you screwed up. You know you can't trust a public defender. But not to fret, I looked it up on the internet, and sure enough, the internet said that if the internet's at fault, then you're free

Ah, the internet: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems. (With apologies to Homer Simpson and alcohol).

[Indofunk]

NEVER apologize to alcohol. It too is the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

Just so we're clear... I don't do everything the internet tells me to do. I just do the really crazy stuff like mixing two different developers together. The voices in my head, on the other hand, are a bit harder to resist. They tell me to do things like bid on 100' of GAF Super Hypan, expired in the early 60's.

This is the Internet talking to you James, buy the film, it's not expired it's just very slow.  Long exposure goodness!

Yeeeeeessssss..... I will buy the film. Actually, it was one of those 'best offer' things and they accepted my first offer, so it should be on the way soon. I agree about the long exposure deliciousness. Woo hoo!
