Taming Contrast

· 2 Comments ·

Adox CMS 20 II is basically a high contrast ultra fine grain microfilm stock that can be used as a continuous tone film when developed with special developers. The main developer for this film (Adotech) tends to be expensive so photographers are always looking for other options. In this case I tried Rollei RLC Low contrast developer, itself not cheap but I had some around. It was a very bright day, almost unfair for this film but I did get some usable images.

Still Life

Seen on the trip back from Muskoka a few weeks ago. The dead tree and the derelict building seemed like the perfect combination.

The Ravine in Colour

Recently I have posted a number of images taken in the Glen Stewart Ravine in the Beaches areas of Toronto. Today, a colour image. The day I took this was a brief interval between rain showers, and there was quite a sense of lushness, despite the fact of it being the fall.
