A few more weeks. Less sunlight. Cooler temperatures. And eventually the skies will pour upon us their sweet rain.
Last Wednesday we were still in summer. The temperature was an uncomfortable 76 °F (24 °C). Unlike me, many are out to capture the Sun while they can. Soon we will be supplementing our Vitamin D.
I shot the film at EI 250 as recommended. CineStill BwXX is a variable-speed, classic black & white film emulsion, with an EI of 250 under daylight and 200 under tungsten lighting. Recommended development in D96 developer or Df96 Monobath, but is compatible with D-76, HC110 and all other black and white film developers. https://cinestillfilm.com/pages/bwxx-dev-times?srsltid=AfmBOoopxiRQeE4W2UI_KZUDyKDtaTe0vj7uazkum1W9d3TphTjOcbm_
I am not the only one shooting Seattle.
I shot these images with a Nikon FM3a and the Nikkor 50mm 1:1.2 lens. I developed the film with Df96 for 8 minutes @21 °C. I scanned the negatives with the PrimeFilmXEs using VueScan.

Nice set of photos. I’m a big fan of Double-X. Since Tri-X no longer looks like Tri-X (at all), Double-X is my favorite Kodak B&W stock. Regarding 76F being “uncomfortable,” where I live it was 104F last Wednesday. It was 112F last Tuesday…

I am in the midst of processing a roll of 400TX with Df96. It will be a fair comparison. Double-X may be problematic in the dark winters we have in the Pacific Northwest. I love the desert, just not in the summer.

I actually don’t live in the desert (not anymore; I used to and wish I still did). But it’s still been that hot where I live. And where I live is also incredibly humid, so you can imagine what the heat indices have been of late when the air temperature has been 105-110+ degrees. “Miserable” doesn’t even begin to describe it…
