Got out with the Sinar yesterday all did not go well, after a bit of difficulty getting the darkslide back in removed film holder to find sheet of HP5 hanging out of camera,
moved on and managed to suffer total brain fade and give Velvia 50 32 second exposure instead of 3.2.
Today thought things going a lot better when I modified an old Kodac print drum to develope film all went well until sat in the dark I could not feel any film in the DDS, thinking there must be one in there somewhere had another scratch around still could not feel anything, turned lights on and yes it was there but now half exposed to white light. managed to get other sheet loaded and proceeded to over develope it.
As a test I developed the half sheet at modified dev time, only bloody perfection just half a picture, good job I saved the good half.
So all in all I have 1 B&W neg and Half a transpeancy to show for the weekends photo trip, have not even tried printing the neg yet nor will I until I have decided my luck has changed.
Hope you all had a better weekend.
Regards Paul.
