gray is a pretty accurate description, i thought things were always sunny in california? i like the grain and grittiness of this look.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you Beth. Even Sunny Southern Cal gets an occasional cloud.

Thanks for mentioning the grain; I like that too.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

you can almost cut the foggy feel of that grain Brian - lovely stuff

 

[Hamish Gill]

The grain is nice! It has really nice break feel to it this!

Brian, do you ever shoot with xp2? I've shot three rolls of it just recently ... I bloody love the outcome!

I don't recall ever shooting with XP2, Hamish. The only B&W C41 film I've ever shot is the Kodak stuff. I'll give the Ilford a try.

Thanks for the comments, Hamish.

All of my yashica t5 shots have been with xp2 so far this year ... I can't be arsed to get the chems out at the mo ... I have somewhere in town that will dev and pro scan for £2 for me so I'm just c41 for the time being.
How did you find the kodak stuff?

I assume you mean the C41? I only shot it once or twice and it was a while back. Liked it, though.

By the way, I've run out of Rodinal and I can't be bothered making the trek to the shop that sells it; if I need to dev any B&W this weekend I think I'll try coffee. Have you tried it?

This isn't a joke is it???

No joke. From what I know at the moment, which is very little, you use the cheapest instant coffee you can get your hands on. (But it cannot be caffein free.) Washing soda: Not sure what it actually is yet,...but I am quite sure it's not washing powder. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

I like your bridge shot in XP2, Hamish. The toning is very nice. Its a very er, "crisp," image. what PP did you do on it?

Correct Alan,...so much so that I was compelled to go straight home and enjoy a wee dram.

 

[Hamish Gill]

... I'm actually going to check back and see jay version I've uploaded ... If I've done anything to it all undo it so we can compare.
keep me posted on the coffee job... Very interested to see how that turns out!!

This to me has a kind of after the storm feel ... barren, desolate.

Thank you, Ahmad.

Now this I really, really like Brian. It has a real aftermath feel to it. After what I have no idea but that is much of the appeal. Another invented history.

Thank you, Pete. If nothing else its the morning after the night before.
