Acts of simple sabotage are occurring throughout Europe. An effort should be made to add to their efficiency, lessen their detectability, and increase their number.

In happier news than the ongoing global horribleness, I managed to develop some film yesterday (aircraft museum trip). Ilford FP4 in 1:31 HC110.

@jess ooof, hope the new projects help and that you're doing ok.

Getting all my film library scanned and saved!

Abandoned tractor from 2023. Ilford FP4.

@Dtl pneumothorax, without midline shift

@KiwiEV like how the cab looked kinda despondent at the end

Enormous print day!

This stuff is like £5 a sheet...

@bennomatic not reply at all

YOU'RE ALL EITHER LYING OR WRONG!!

Similarly, waving my fingers when the lift door opens like I'm opening it with the force.

POLL:

Sometimes if I'm on my own, I'll go upstairs/along hallways as quietly as I can, checking doors and corners like I'm a secret agent or something on a secret mission to shoot baddies.
Told my wife this, and that it's a fairly universal male thing. She didn't believe me and called me a massive dork.

So, ever done this? (Please boost)

@tomnorthfilm may be worth a go

Apparently I'm not supposed to worry if Fomadon starts getting crystals growing in it, and it's fine? I'm probably due a new bottle anyway (still got a load of HC-110 as well but that doesn't play nice with IR? I dunno...).
Taking the camera body in to a shop to get the leaks fixed soon.

So the Rollei? Looks better (which is weird as IR metering is basically a roulette wheel). Note the light leak around the sprocket holes. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE LIGHT PROOFING, WHY IS THAT STILL THERE?? (Note, every damm roll I put through the thing gets these, I did load the IR in a dark bag)
#AnaloguePhotography #Shootfilmstaybroke

But how do the negs look??
Well, the Tri X looks underdone. Metering may not be great, but the info around the perforations isn't clear. (Plus, stupid camera has a light leak I cannot fix)
#BelieveInFilm

First things, dev comes out somewhere between purple and jet black. I think that's mostly the IR emulsion and whatever anti halation stuff that is on it. Seriously though, if you thought Fomapan or T-Max weirdly discoloured your dev, you have seen NOTHING!! #BelieveInFilm

@scottmichaud @AlgoCompSynth We've been worse.
Best of luck over there.

I happened to see on my Developing app that Tri-X 400 and Rollei IR have the same Dev guide (rodinal 1:50, 12', agitate 30s).

Well, I got a roll of Tri X and a roll of IR. And a bottle of Fomadon (that might be on the way out). And 2 spirals. Let's see what happens.

@bobschooley weirdly the headline of a lot of the RW papers in the UK as well
