Nice start Kevin!  I have some sunflowers without sun.  Shot at night with a Polaroid Big Shot using Fujifilm FP-100C and a MagiCube flash cube.

Happy weekend everyone. Don't know about your neck of the woods, but it's actually starting to feel like fall here!

This one is from a photo walk with Miguel a few weeks ago.

Love Kevin's second shot!

Being super busy trying to fix everything that's broken around the house before the cold comes, I did find time to immortalize some mushrooms that are growing on a stump.

I didn't know bunnies like mushrooms.

Rabbit stew? Is it Wile E. Coyote or witch Hazel's version?

Finally, after about nine months, got round to developing some 4x5 sheets I had taken with my Noon pinhole. Two sheets got spoilt because my Rodinal had gone off (it does happen!). Two sheets done in fresh developer, came out ok nothing special (car park detail, soon to be demolished) but pleased I managed to get them developed eventually. Ilford FP4+ in Rodinal 1+50 15 minutes. Had to stitch scan as my scanner doesn't take larger than 120.

Was that the first batch of Rodinal ever made?

This has happened to me too! And as I recall, mine was only 2-3 years old

Was that from concentrate?

Yes, the concentrate went bad - I bought a 500ml bottle at some stage (about 1.5 years ago) but then had long periods of inactivity, and the liquid was turning a darker pink. I probably developed five rolls of 120 and a few sheets of 5x4, all from concentrate. When I discarded the old concentrate finally there was a lot of sludge left in the bottle.

Got a fresh smaller bottle hopefully I can spend a bit more time on film.

That's pretty weird in a sense. Rodinal has always had the reputation of being "good forever"... I guess it ain't the case anymore.
And I don't know how well the new more liquidy HC-110 will hold-up. My syrup has a best before 2012 stamped on it and still works.

I think we'll come to a point where the only long life developer we will be able to get our hands on will be PMK

[Francois]

A rare treat for me, I just finished scanning my first roll from my new Agfa Isola I.
Here's a fog picture, a rare thing in the region.

Yeah, mine was concentrate too. I don't think I had very long periods of non-use though. Maybe a month of non-use, then suddenly it went bad? Maybe it was a bad batch and Klaus & I happened to get the same one

Some from the test of my recently acquired Mamiya C33. Fairly happy with it but man is it heavy.
