f/1.1 Snapsh!ts

The usual Tri-X @ 1600 souped in Xtol, but by now the Xtol is 15 months old so I gave it an extra few minutes after testing it on a scrap of the leader. First time I’ve ever used a wetting agent & ended up with probably the worst drying marks I’ve ever had, so I don’t think I’ll bother with it again.

In Inverurie for a friend’s wedding.

Klasse S Snapsh!ts

I’ve been meaning to put a decent roll through the Klasse S to test it out, but so far all I’ve managed to use it for are party snapsh!ts with flash. At least I know the flash works?

Starting with possibly the only non-flash non-drunk non-dark shot, the usual Tri-X @ 1600. Hopefully this indicates that the camera can actually take nice shots when it’s not being abused in the dark or with drunk hands…

Another roll of Tri-X through the Bessa @ 1600. Developed slightly different than usual – did a 5 minute pre-soak & agitated more vigorously throughout.

Snapsh!ts

Starting off with a frame from my great grandfather’s 1930s Rolleicord that my mother gave to me when I visited for Christmas a few years back. She called this her ‘contemporary’ Christmas tree.

Tri-X @ 1600 w/ full strength Xtol…

The lovely Ellen Shaw of Shawtography, performing at an exhibition/auction hosted by the university PhotoSoc.

My Xtol has been mixed for over 6 months now so I used it full strength, thus the complete & utter lack of shadow detail with pushed Tri-X…
