Another cloudy day with light showers. I am taking out my Nikon F4, loaded with Ilford HP5+ black and white film, intending to develop the roll in Diafine.

I am pushing the film 1 stop to 800 ISO. The McLane Creek area offers several trails, most under 2 miles round trip. This roll of film will be the 12th film I have developed in the same solution.



Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)

Douglas Fir Cones (the size varies from 2-4 inches).


Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata). https://treeplantation.com/western-red-cedar.html

I shot a roll of Fomapan 400 at box speed yesterday on a walk around the Olympia area. The film is not recommended for use with Diafine. I am looking forward to developing the film this morning.

Nice and contrasty!

The question now is when do I return to HC-110(B)? The Fomapan negatives I developed this morning look good, so we will see what happens when I scan them later today.

When you thumb/index finger drag them larger the detail is still brilliant. Grain is minimal too. Using the developer that many times doesn’t seem to alter the quality. Your trials are a great informer. Cheers.
