Wow Bill, that's perfect! Where can I find the recipe for the 2-bath method?

Paul and Peter, thanks, I shot the roll at box speed and could've pushed it
to 400 for friendlier shutter speeds, but then I couldn't use my Thornton's.

Peter:

Bath A

Metol.........................6.25 grams
Sodium Sulfite............85 grams

Distilled water qs to 1 liter

Bath B

Sodim Metaborate.......12 grams

Distilled water qs to 1 liter

Heat 400 to 500 mls of water for each bath to 125F to facilitate mixing.

Superior results, Bill.
I just love those gray tones shadings. Perfect!
Love the subjects too. I always had a fascination with warehouses.

Orio and Attila, thanks, have a few more I'll be posting after work tonight.

Orio, this is an old circa 20's linen factory that has been taken over by
sculptors, artists, photographers, live theatre, and a few book stores.

The Thornton's is an ultra cheap way to go for developer, recommended.

Looks great Bill.
The Pearl is a 645? I know of it but I don't know it.

What I see, would be perfect as location for some model shooting.

Yeah it would be a great set.
hey Bill have you started playing with Caffenol developer yet.
I've been seeing some really interesting things with that homebrew.
My current transient lifestyle keeps me from being more of a mad scientist in the Darkroom.

Andy, no, haven't tried Caffenol, but like what I've seen of Jules work, etc.

Here are a few more from the Delta 100/Thornton's 2-Bath roll:





With 16 pictures you can get bored a little faster with the roll. Wink I didn't
have my Gossen digisix with me, but the unpowered Revue light meter. Didn't do as well exposure-wise with these.

I love the exposure (and the composition as well) in the piano shot.

I was thinking the same thing with those large and high windows. Hummm.

Thanks, Orio, that was handheld at 1/4 second as I recall.

@Paul, thanks, I'm happy having something this small using 120 film, is
a great packaround. Wink
