The Conference on Flickr.Yashica Mat LM | Fuji Neopan Acros 100 | Red Filter | 2 hour stand | 1.5mL Rodinal + 100 mL Xtol I recently discovered the work of Alexey Titarenko who made some haunting images of St. Petersburg right after the fall of the Soviet Union. He used a Hasselblad and a tripod for most of the shots, which captured the ancient city as if its inhabitants were ghosts through the use of longer exposures. I decided to try (key word: try) something like it in the Crystal Court earlier today. I also tried stand development for the first time! I think I need stainless steel reels/tank, but it was pretty neat. I might also try just Rodinal at 1:100, since Xtol gave me funny results when used alone and I don’t know if it adds to the development process when used with stand and Rodinal. The experiment continues…

Date night at the Walker Art Center on Flickr.Canonet QL17 GIII | Kodak Tri-X 400 (shot at 800-3200) | Rodinal R09 1:100 | 120 min My second stab at stand development, this time using 5mL of Rodinal and a hint of Borax to control fog. I agitated 15 sec/min for the first 5 and then 15 sec every 30 min. thereafter. I think it turned out nicely! Shooting at 3200 might be pushing it, but I basically metered for 400 and then adjusted for a reasonable f-stop and shutter speed and shot. I love the flexibility stand development and Tri-X gives me! I don’t want to have to fiddle with my camera too much for each shot. Luckily, I have a cute, willing subject who puts up with my nonsense ;o) This is our trip to the Walker Art Center. They have all sorts of interesting things there, I especially enjoyed the exhibition on graphic design they have going on now. This particular shot is in their video bay benches, where random artsy videos are playing on a loop. I think this one had someone walking on their hands underwater. They call it art!
