Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

One of those days when I was trying different way of expose and develop Fuji Across film, I went and try to exposed it at 50ASA, It was a bright sunny day. I point my camera at this metal beetle in our garden. I develop it month later and was shocked by beauty of tones it produced. Until you see the print you can full appreciate how nice it is.

Yesterday evening I did last two rolls of Acros I still had not developed. They were exposed at 100 ASA. I also did two rolls of MacoPhot up100 as I planed. I have used shorter time as before to try little less dense negatives. But you can't compare it to Fuji Acros. Those Acroses are almost transparent if there is no exposure and perfectly fit scanning. MacoPhot is dense. It is really old technology film and base is much denser than newer films.

As you can see, I have put also first shot from Fuji Across exposed at 50ASA on web. I also print it yesterday and it looks incredible. I am very happy I broke Fuji Across resistance. Now I can have nice 50ASA film for sharp Sun and also for strong light details scenes.
I will be developing huge amount of MacoPhot's and Foma 100 films which I have from last 2 month. Is up to forty rolls. So you are going to see a lot of images in near future.
