I had 2 rolls I managed to destroy by using oldish C-41 developer. The first was a roll of a St Patrick’s Day parade on Velvia 50, and the second a roll for expired film day, Fuji Super-G 400 (exp 1999). The developer was exhausted, the blix was fine, so the rolls came out nice and clean. Bummer. I’ll have to make up a couple rolls in the next weeks.
For this roll I used my Hasselblad 500 c/m with the Zeiss Sonnar 150mm and a red filter. I purposely was trying to find cool looking clouds, hoping the red filter would bring out some of the detail and contrast. I shot on Acros 100 and developed in Rodinal 1+100 semi-stand. I hadn’t tried this method with this emulsion before and the negatives turned out very dense, much denser than expected considering the dilute developer. My semi-stand routine is to do a few gentle inversions at the start, then again at 20 and 40 mins, with a total of 1 hr development. Scans via my Epson V700, and because of the dense negatives, I did have to do some level adjustments, but that is about all.

Hi, I’ve tried stand development with Fomapan 100 (120) in Rodinal and have been pleased with the results. I like the light and dark of your Spring Snow image tho 🙂

Thanks, I’ve had great results with Rodinal, and even with Acros in the past, I just hadn’t done a semi-stand w/1+100. I think I probably overexposed some because I took incident meter readings, adjusted for red filter factor, then pointed up at the sky. Better dense negatives than thin ones though.

Great, more nice trees 🙂

Thanks, I love my trees. My people shots all got cleaned by the blix. I think nature was jealous.

For thin negatives the scans look pretty good.

The negatives are much denser than normal actually. Which, with film. is better than thin negatives.
