Last week I processed a batch of twenty 4" x 5" sheets of Fuji Neopan Acros 100. I have fine tuned my exposure and development of this film over the past year or so. I meter my subject with a spot meter, placing the lowest values on Zone III. I rate the film at 80 iso. And I develop in Rodinal developer, diluted 1:50, for 11:00 minutes at 24C. This is all very subjective and dependent upon a lot of variables including water quality, agitation, etc. I feel that this gives me the equivalent of about 1/2 stop of expansion. I know this all sounds like mumbo-jumbo to all those non-darkroom people that might read this... but it works for me.
This current batch included a number of shots taken over various outings through the late summer and fall. I will continue to post scans of those shots over the coming days. For now I have included scans of five negatives from the recent trip down to Utah and Arizona. These were all taken on the north rim of the Grand Canyon on October 18th...
