Behind Bars

[Dan Cattermole]

Took some HP5 round to KK's to have dev'd and scanned whilst yuttin a few sups of wine!
Pleased with the results... especially these

Thanks for looking

 

[Pete Askew]

Phew, scary. I can see why you keep her behind bars!! You've got some great stuff off of that roll Dan. HP5 has a really nice look doesn't it. I found I had a box of 5x4 in the fridge. About time it got used I think!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Yeah, I really like the results with HP5, It's got a very nice high contrast to the images.

 

[Pete Askew]

It does doesn't it? And it pushes really nicely too. If I find time tomorrow I shall scan and post some shots taken at 1600 and 3200 ISO using HP5.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Ooooh, would like to see that Pete.
I'm just fascinated with the proccess of it all, getting involved with it, and the satisfaction you get from it....
To the very moment you look through the wet negative and remind yourself what you've taken. It's brilliant!

 

[Pete Askew]

Wait till you have a go at printing...

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Ha, Yeah, I did have a go at it round Kev's (just the printing at the time) I think if I was to dev, and print the whole lot, I'll get to about number 3 and crash n burn through excitment.

 

[Pete Askew]

I can't recall which company now, but one of the enlarger manufacturers used to use the phrase, "About as much fun as you can have alone in the dark". I suspect it wasn't Durst!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Ha! I've heard it can be quite addictive, and 3 minutes feels like 3 hours!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Best bring more than one bottle next time D

 

[Hamish Gill]

Lovely Stuff Dan!
I'm also a bit hooked on hp5 at the mo ...
I even went as far to say the other day that I almost can't see the point in buying other film...
So when are you going to get your own kit?
How much of my kit do I need to loan you to get you started ...
I might even have a spare scanner ... Found an Epson v100 in a box the other day just need to see if it works, if it does you can at dry least borrow it! I am also thinking of selling the v500 if you are interested!
Come on Dan with shots like this its about time you took the plunge and got going home alone as it were!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Lovely shots, Dan.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I need to, there's no excuse, I absolutely love it now, even more so.
Just been paid my peanuts this month so I'm going to do some digging around ebay over the weekend,
I don't need brand spanking new stuff, just the kit that works really don't I?

I would love to borrow the spare scanner off you Hama! I'm due a visit round yours very soon.
Need to get the balls rolling on this me tinks

 

[Hamish Gill]

You do indeed!
You can borrow
A tank
A spiral
A dark bag
That scanner if it works
So you would just need chems and a measuring jug or 2

 

[Pete Askew]

Check out SDS before eBay Dan - Second-hand Darkrooms Supplies

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Oooohhhh thanks pete!!!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, I'll second that recomendation ...
I've told him a few times if try and send people his way too so if you think to mention that you heard about him on here that would be coolio

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Loving #2 Dan - so you're liking HP5 eh?

Have you tried PanF?

I'm still in love with it's 50ASA wonderfulness

 

[Paul Lange]

Nice one Dan and nice clean negs I see. I think my house is a bit too dusty as no matter how much I clean and dust everything before starting I still get hairs and specks!

 

[Dan Cattermole]
