Of all the things I know
I understand almost nothing

HP3




Helsinki? St.Petersburg? Nijmegen NL! - on very ripe (40+ years) Ilford HP3. (Look at that lovely metal spool.) "Hypersensitive", with some background-fog, but not bad at all. 30+ Years old Hasselblad/Distagon 60mm still going strong and even I didn't slip.

6-Nitro-benzoltriazol



The pre-1968 HPS has an old-fashioned London fog. So, next stage: I still have a very old bottle of SWS (= no fog stuff), 5 ml in the developer and it worked! Well, sort of. It's rather spotted, as you can see.
The problem of the two stripes over the film is solved: Kodak/Nagel made the Duo620 a bit too solid. More scouring.

Agifold - Hasselblad



Jeroen used Tri-X 320 (220film) and Ilfotec HC 1+31, I plunged my HP5 in Rodinal 1:50 as usual; we both overexposed 2 stops because snow has to be white.

# In the bleak midwinter...




Vèry quiet sunday-morning. Some Canadians think they are storks, wabbits dreaming of skiing, a scoutmaster with his Hasselblad, a busy wren. Wildlife all over the place!

The "U.S.Zone Germany" Mini REX II tells my 1950 Agifold what to do with HP5. ( #Midwinter: Rossetti - Darke)

January


You can find these little chapels all over Limburg NL. This one is built by students, shortly after WWII, to commemorate their fallen friends. On the first morning of the year I always go there, light a candle or two, think.
