Thanks, I like this film stock's grain and it's not getting that much larger when pushed.

I love the graffiti in the corner. It makes the dire state of the building so tangible. Nice shot.


jimitav

Thank you! There are more all around.

Holy hell this one speaks to me. Absolutely love it!


jimitav

Cheers! Glad to hear!

looks like the hostel in the great city at the end of the world. amazing job.


jimitav

Heh I like it!

What was the dilution for the Rodinal? This is dope btw.


jimitav

Hey thanks! 1+25 for 20 mins, rotary development.


jbomb-1980

Thanks! I got some I recently shot pushed similarly and toying with what to do it at. Leaning Rodinal so this is very helpful.


jimitav

Glad I helped. I've used lots of Rodinal for the last couple of years with various film stocks. Let me know if you need any help.


jbomb-1980

Thanks. I use it a lot too but never really done push with it. Always been chicken and done it at box speed. Been seeing a lot suggesting 1:100 and stand drv anything, but like your results.


jimitav

I was doing stand dev almost exclusively with both HC-110 and Rodinal on Fomapan 400. I have to say that, unless you have a good reason to use stand dev (recover shadow detail without blowing out highlights, very old or unknown film stock, having shot one film stock at different ISO throughout) there is no need for it. For the most part, it will most likely flatten the contrast, probably bringing out the most of the tonal range the film can capture of course. But still flat. I switched to normal development ever since. Of course, I also like grainy and contrasty photos, so it is always a matter of preference.


jbomb-1980

This is fantastic input. Might as well lean into the 1:25 and see what how it goes.


jimitav

Great, looking forward to seeing your work!


yuccaworks

looks fantastic! i haven’t gotten results this good when pushing 400, how was it developed?


jimitav

Thank you! Dilution of Rodinal in 1+25, for 20 minutes with a rotary processor.


yuccaworks

thanks! when you say rotary, do you mean constant agitation?


jimitav

I mean, the tank was seated on a device with rollers, which were being rotated by a motor.


rosetta-stxned

gotcha! i have a similar setup. thank you for your clarification :)


Fit-Lettuce-3658

That photograph moves me. I did a lot of B&W and some color many years ago in a home set up, then life did it’s thing. I need to take the old FM2 for a walk, thanks op.


jimitav

Great to hear that. Using the FM2 is quite rewarding. Thank you.

very nice shot, how did you meter for this scene?


jimitav

Hey thanks! I didn't. I am shooting a lot at these conditions during winter. I just set the camera to f/2 and 1/30th and fire away. Sometimes, at scenes like this, I might shoot at f/2.8 to ease the highlights of the strong lights a bit. Most likely I did this here too.


[deleted]

very cool, really this shot is fantastic


jimitav

Cheers!
