In the Bath

· 2 Comments ·

To anyone reading the title and expecting a boudoir image (or dreading a nude selfie!), the title of this post refers to my first time developing film with Cinestill Df96 Monobath. Instead of a separate developer, stop bath  and fixer, this monobath does it all in one step, and requires less rinse time (and less water) afterwards. I can see myself using this product a lot! The images below are from a roll shot in Niagara-On-the-Lake, that I had not gotten around to processing. Glad I waited!

Portrait of a Friend

I was happy to get together with my good friend Ken last Saturday. We met up at The Only Cafe of course. Fairly dimly lit, so I ratcheted up the ISO on the Sony A7ii to 6400. Impressed with the lack of noise! The lens was an old Nikkor 50mm f1.4, mounted via adapter and shot wide open. Quite happy with this image!

Old and New

It was a rather grey and soggy weekend in Niagara Falls, but I did have fun shooting black and white images with the Sony A7ii; It’s great to be able to use 50 year old lenses on a new camera. (In this case it was a Nikkor 50mm/f1.4 lens).

The Last Roll

I finally got the last roll of black and white film from our Croatia trip developed. These images are from a park in Zagreb. All images were take n with my Voigtlander Bessa T and 15mm/f4.5 Superwide Heliar lens, on Ilford HP5 Plus film.

Another architectural image from Croatia. The red filter on the lens really worked this time!
