Notes from 1st May 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

In my search for lower sensitive film I have tried in past few days Foma 200 Creative and Ilford FP4+. I developed both of them with Aculux 2. With Foma, which I developed next three rolls this weekend I am slowly coming to the point when I am getting out of it what I like. First rolls had quite little details in shadows. Now I am using little bit strange timing of inverting while developing. Total time is 9:30. Complete schedule is following:
1x30 sec non-stop inversion
4x60 sec two inversion in 10sec
4x30 sec one inversion
3x60 sec no inversion at all
It is rather complex and I will try to simplify. Last three minutes with no inversion really help to bring some details from shadows without burning highlights.
Example from Ilford FP4+ you can see here. And from Foma tomorrow when I will scan last two rolls which I just hanging to dry.
