Yeah, the Ilford time sounds crazy to me - but then manufacturers do occasionally seem to have some weird ideas that don't fit with most people's experience.
I generally find Massive Dev chart timings to be good, but where they have conflicting sources they will often include both. So I suspect the "7-9 min" recommendation is because they are including the Ilford time as one of their sources, and that other sources suggest 7 mins.

How many is enough?
They're ALL very good, I'd agree with everyone's positive comments already posted.
The piece of wall hanging in the upper left of #2 was very distracting for me. Try cropping that bit out is the only 'criticism' I'd have for you. Very nice work.

Ok, one without the glasses, from last year. Just before my film revival ;-)

Thanks for posting these. The model, wardrobe, textures, tones, setting are all great. I like the way the vintage-ish/modern-ish clothing and the lived-in building interact. You've given me something new to aspire to!

It took me a while to respond to this last one.
Yep, it's digital. (Don't ask how I could tell...I can't always).
True, that lens is far from top-notch.
But, with those glasses off, and at that one moment, this woman goes from awfully-cute, to...almost-frightening, ethereal beauty. (Right, the low-cut dress doesn't hurt, but, believe it or not, that's not what I'm getting at.) I could look at this photo all damn day; good thing I've got other pressing matters.
As far as I'm concerned, you caught the moment just right. How did she respond to this picture?

P.S. I know all about needing spectacles at a spectacularly early age.

Hi Barret,
It might surprise you, but she doesn't really like it. She feels she looks a bit slumped. Furthermore she thinks it makes her look a bit exposed and vulnerable, not 'tough' enough. She will never be of course, but that's how she feels about it without the glasses and with the bathing suit on. No it's not a dress, it's a bathing suit she's wearing here under her 'normal' clothes (it was a very warm day).
HOWEVER, her mum absolutely adores it. She printed it on her cr*ppy printer and framed it. Doesn't really do it justice
So I gave her a 75x50cm print of it as a surprise gift. But Anne doesn't want to look at it when she visits her parents, and the print is really too big to hang elsewhere than in the living room.You can't please 'em all... but I'll pass her the compliments ;-)
