Notes from 24th Apr 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

I just finished developing first roll of Ilford FP4+. This one was exposed by my colleague from work. I use 6:30 with Paterson Aculux 2. It seems to be little too less for that dull weather in which shots were done. I didn't new that so I coudn't adjust. I know that next roll, which I exposed yesterday in high contrast light will get little more development.

I have just returned from city. I have found Fuji Super Prodol (SPD) developer in one photo shop. I am curious, this is the developer suggested by Fuji for its Black and white films. I will try it, just curious. I believe is very hard to find it in Europe. But first I am going to develop next roll of Ilford FP4+.

Film is developed, looks little better. Nicer contrast, but that can be also result of more contrast light. Still shadows do not have that information I would like they have. Of course I could be completely wrong as this observation is based purely on look on wet negative. Let's wait for evening when I will scan both negatives and see.
