t-max 400@800. diafine. olympia. november 27.

My wife and I do not enjoy cooking. I pride myself on the fact that most of my meals take ten minutes or less to prepare. All of our kids love to cook. When Thanksgiving comes around each year, they tell us all the ways they prepare the special dinner. This is great when it is a year we are visiting them, but this year, we were unable to do any travelling.

So we did the next best thing. We bought the $99 Thanksgiving Dinner prepared by Haggen, a supermarket nearby. It comes with seasoned mashed potatoes, stuffing, whole cranberries in cranberry sauce, gravy, and, of course, the turkey. All we need to do is heat it up.

We picked up the dinner at noon on Wednesday. A few hours later, my wife told me we had forgotten the roasting pan. So off I went to the market. I decided to walk and take my camera. I would shoot a roll of Kodak T-Max 400 on the way. It was getting dark, so I pushed it one stop. The film was loaded in my Nikon N90s, with the Voigtlander 40mm F2 lens attached.

When I got home, I developed the film in Diafine, a good developer for pushed film. I then scanned the negatives with the PrimeFilmXEs using VueScan.

The turkey was great and will feed us for the next few days.
