    @bsjezz have you ever tried a Rodinal stand development? I've chosen that for my first foray into home developing, as it seems the most forgiving and produces a scan-friendly result. unfortunately I have to wait till vanbar get changing bags & paterson tanks back in stock, but I've picked up the rodinal, fixer, stop bath and various accoutrements, so it's definitely happening!

    @electricmeat wonderful shots. I wish you could have gotten a bit lower on the 3rd one, to isolate the tree a little bit better. Last shot is a bit too yellow for my taste, but I feel like it was done intentionally. Your "dead horse portrait" picture seem to have the tell tale signs of fighting the long distance haze I encountered in the Grand Canyon. You seemed to fare much better than I, especially when it comes to color shifting.


    I will need to rescan this one again as it doesn't appear as sharp as it should be.

    Good idea on that third shot, @muninn. The yellow in the last shot is intentional. I found myself in a peculiar spot as I processed that photo and, ultimately, the yellow tone is what makes it work best. I love the composition, so I didn't want to throw the shot away. As for the haze, I had to take the day as I found it. On other days of that trip, the sky and atmosphere were crystal clear. I got unlucky on that day.

    As for your new B&W shot, it's a good example of how using B&W can simplify and strengthen a composition. In color, I'm not sure where my eye would go. In your shot, I start at the bottom and work up thanks to the way the shot is developed. I like the way the frame is bisected and you did a very good job in exposing enough of the upper half to keep it interesting without being overwhelming.

    @Prospicience‌, such a clean, sharp shot. I'm trying to nudge myself towards more minimalist compositions and this is just what I'm digging at the moment. So good.

    @Baron Dirigible‌ If you don't want to make the new thread I'll be the backup volunteer.

    No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.

    nope! i dove straight into colour, and then after doing some reading about caffenol started experimenting with that. i think the things i've learnt that will apply to rodinal anyway: be very diligent with your development temps and times, but it can't hurt to over-fix.

    it's a piece of cake though, you'll be fine

    Thanks, colour is next on the list but I miss shooting B+W so feel like getting back into it. Re: temps and times, that's one of the reasons I'm looking at a Rodinal stand (or semi-stand) -- basically it needs roughly 20C, but the development takes anywhere up to an hour so timing is nowhere near as crucial.

    I'm going to be adding more to the OP moving forward but I wanted to just get it up.
