#caffenol

2026-01-02

I may experiment with caffenol for developing my next few rolls of black and white film. I've previously used Df96 (yes, I know that monobath developers are sneered at by many film photographers, but I've always gotten pretty good results) and D-76. 510 Pyro is also on my list to try, since I've read that the negative staining is great for alt-process contact prints.

For anyone doing home development: have any thoughts on developers? Favorites, etc?

Also, it makes sense that James Hoffmann would have one of the better (beginner) videos about caffenol: youtube.com/watch?v=9bhOtTUtPh

A test shot with #Kodak #Signet40, on #ultrafineextreme100. I just realized they go rid of the water tower, so this is another record of things gone by.

Pendant que tu bois un bon café ce matin ☕️ je me permets de te présenter enfin une photo que j’ai prise et développée au Caffenol (café) et que j’ai digitalisé moi-même🤩

J’avais très hâte de te montrer ça et n’hésite pas à me donner tes impressions et à poser tes questions ✨

Photographie prise et développée au Caffenol par Cindy Cinnamon
This is an interesting one, something from a long time ago. I know the camera was the #bencini Koroll 24 model, an oddity with 24 'half frame' spacing on #120film with single 1/50 speed and f9/f16 aperture. The film was likely #ultrafineextreme100 which was my only 120 stock for a long time.

The view of #nyc is obviously taken through a viewfinder though - I can't seem to recall what I might have been looking through.

One of my first #pinhole photography experiments from a hallway at a place. It doesn't exist anymore, and I don't think the paintings do either.

#pinholephotography with old ultrafine BW #120film stock. This was in my friend's lab during a gel extraction process (you capture a DNA fragment in an agarose gel using electrical charge and then cut them out for purification).

I was quite happy to capture this one with ISO100 film, only lit by some background light and the blue LED lights from the illuminator. Since this was a pinhole with long exposure time, we aren't really visible despite constantly walking around in the background.

#Holga shot while walking through the Winter garden by the battery park. I like that the place and the path exists, but hate everything in it. How many luxury shopping plazas do we need in a single city, even in a place like #nyc?

Older #110film snap, reloaded cartridge with Tri-X. This is a scene inside a biosafety cabinet, aftermath of some plant tissue culture experiment.

Morning shot of the #Metronome at #unionsquare #nyc, taken with #fppdebonair. It's one of the largest public art works in the city. The LED panel on the left used to be a clock, but switched over to a climate clock measuring the time until the Earth's carbon budget is used up.

Week 41: Adox CHS II 100

"Harvest Time"

Pinhole image of the pumpkin harvest in Wisley Gardens. Shooting on Adox CHS II 100 film, in a ZeroImage 2000, developed in Caffenol-CH.

Bell tower of St Mary's in Long Island City, Queens. I didn't know the place dated back to 1868. It's easy to forget how developed even the #NYC peripheries were by that time - there are probably whole nondescript buildings around here older than the shape of waterways surrounding the area.

I wish I took a more interesting photo of the place too - most of my shots are from work commutes so many shots end up being rushed. Gotta catch that train!

Week 40: FPP Wolfman 100

"Seeing double"

Pinhole image of a shallow pool in a peace garden, shooting on FPP Wolfman 100 film, in a ZeroImage 2000, developed in Caffenol-CH. Over the years I've had a few accidental double exposures which produces nice images over the years but never been satisfied with intentional efforts. So this roll was dedicated to practicing double exposure and had a nice couple of results.

Pinhole image looking down a shallow pool in a peace garden. Double exposure of the same location with each exposure offset by about 30 degrees to cross the lines in the image.
