I spent a couple of days in Central Washington, specifically from Yakima to Ellensburg. Agriculture and food processing are the major economic drivers. Since the area is semi-arid, irrigation from the Yakima River, which flows out of the Cascades, is required to support the industry.

I used the Nikon F100, with either the AF-S Nikkor 50mm and 28mm 1:1.8 lens attached.

I developed the film in Cinestill’s Monobath Df96 for 6 minutes @21 °C. I agitated the film for 10 seconds, and then 5 seconds every minute thereafter. I added a simple agitation of 2 seconds at 30-second intervals between those 5-second agitations to address some bromide drag I have noted while using the developer in prior situations.

  1. I really like this set. So you’ve had bromide drag issues with Double-X, too? I’m just guessing, but I think it may have a bit higher silver content than most modern black-and-white films, and I think that may be why it’s prone to such. It doesn’t look like you had an issue with this roll after adding the additional agitation intervals. Again, a very nice set of photos.
