These two frames from my bulk loaded Kentmere 400 test roll are hot messes with light leaks and weird spots. These were not consecutive frames and rest of the frames from a short roll were mostly fine. I shot the roll at 1600. While I'll try to diagnose and improve the loading and developing process, I will say that I am somewhat charmed by the happy accidents in these frames.

Scanned the test roll from my new (to me) folder - this was my first time zone focusing. I tried to keep things at f/8 or above, except for one picture of a tree trunk at f/5.6 as I needed the light…and it’s not very well focused 😅

Used a handheld light meter. Sunny 16 scares me.

Need to get another few rolls under my belt before #folderweek

Spent a few hours in town with the #YashicaMAT124 today. Decided to rely solely on the built-in meter which makes dialing in settings for the exposure mostly a snap. Negative density looks pretty good, I think. #TriX400 with #Rodinal - hope to have time to scan tomorrow. I wish I knew how much of the frame is metered - I tried to meter for the shadows and recompose on shots with a lot of range.

My heart! I tried to do a hasty contact print of this last night in the toilet (shh) which was a total disaster. There are three shots of this, two black and white and one colour on expired slide film, which I am yet to develop. In the cramped downstairs loo with the enlarger propped up on the toilet seat, I spilled some developer on the two B&W negs. One is a write-off and this one has some damage I’ve been able to cover up a little with the canner and some fun smelling chemicals.

Here’s the salvage effort of Totland Bay, Isle of Wight.
