Recently, as my broken leg began to recover, I was able to return to the darkroom and begin to get back to work. I developed two batches of film.... some Kodak T-Max 100 and some Ilford HP5+... both in 510 Pyro. I also made a bunch of unsharp masks, in advance of some printing that I intend to get started on.
This one is from the batch of HP5 that I developed. Most of that batch were sheets that were rated at 320 iso and given Normal development. But there were a handful of sheets, including this one, that were rated at 1600 iso and given extended development for 30:00 minutes. These were all from various Beer Parlour Project outings.
This one was taken during the BP 16.0 outing at the Grand Hotel in Rimbey. This was on August 16th 2024. The shot was taken at about 6:30 in the evening. I used my Ebony view camera and a 125mm lens. The exposure was for 1/2 second at F8.0.
On more recent outings I have begun to use a couple of floodlights. This allows for shorter exposures and/or a smaller aperture, for greater depth of field. A lot of past shots have been ruined by bar patrons that were unable to hold still long enough for the long shutter speeds, although this one worked out alright.
