photographs from my travels
35mm and Tri-X
Posted on February 24, 2012
heres some more photos that i developed myself, but i seem to get some mixed results.
i think i need a bit more practice and work on my dev times.
photos shot with Pentax LX with 28mm and 50mm lenses and Tri-X 400 film.

i have been shooting a lot of medium format lately, more than 35mm, and i love it.
i smashed through 2 rolls of Tri-X in about a week, had a go at developing it myself.
wasnt too sure how i’d go loading the 120, considering how much i have been struggling with the 35mm, but after a few youtube videos, i was ready to go, and i somehow managed to have no issues each time.
im getting mixed messages about pre-soaking 120, some say yes, some no. so i didnt bother, and didnt see any adverse affects. what are peoples thoughts?
i reused the developer for the second roll, it was quite reddish after the first roll, and added approx 10% to the developing time.
both rolls were a success! really happy.
i also bought a new scanner. Epson Photo V600, bought it as a refurbed unit from the Epson website, works well! only cost about $250 too!

home developing
Posted on February 13, 2012
the other day i finally developed my first roll of film, and it was more or less a success!
i shot with Kodak Tri-X 400 and developed with Ilford LC29 at 1+9 dilution, Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 and an old bottle of Kodak Photo Flo 200.
i need to work on my film reel loading, as i had a lot of trouble with that, which affected a few of my negatives, but not enough to ruin them.
abandoned warehouse

heres some photos i took the other week of an abandoned warehouse in Morwell.
photos taken with Mamiya RB67 w/50mm and Fuji Neopan 400CN.
Jindera, NSW
Posted on February 1, 2012
so my friends Ryan and Hollie were/are? living in Jindera, just outside of Albury.
i recently visited them for a few days and went for a day trip with Ryan.
these shots were taken with my Leica M3 and Summarit 50 f1.5. Kodak BW400CN film
after getting this film back i realised that the lens has haze, which causes the light to blowout in sunlight.
