More Rodinal pics

[Kenj8246]

Taken with a Fuji GW690III on Acros 100 rated at 200 due to the light level in this museum. Developed in R09 one shot, 1+25, 14 minutes @ 20C, normal agitation. Just a touch too much contrast for me but I think these came out well, otherwise.

I'd agree. Tiny bit too much contrast [although many would love it, I'd bet], but the tonal range and (low) level of grain is great.

Absolut lovely - the tones and the contrast 😉
I know why I wanna start with Rodinal.

They look great to me - they really "sparkle".

I love the contrast. What do you mean by "normal agitation" 5 inversions of the tank every minuet? Reason I ask is I've only recently got satisifying results from Rodinal & I'm thinking it's because I have cut back on the times I agitate.

If I can constantly get results similar to this I'd be a happy camper.😀

To me, normal is 30 sec initial and 10 sec every minute thereafter. That works out to 10-ish gentle inversions and 4-ish inversions per minute thereafter.

I like it! But would be interested to see what you'd prefer (the less contrast).

Just as a for instance, this is also Acros 100 in Rodinal but 1+50. Not quite as much contrast.

I like your car photos much better.

I like your car photos much better.

Total agree!
The bike is just grey in grey - the cars are real B+W

 

[Peter_Jones]

I wish my neg/scans had the look of the car shots, looks like I'm not alone in preferring their look.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder however. 🙂

Nice contrast and mid-tones too. Well exposed and developed. Did you need to adjust the curves much?

Any work like that is done in post-processing, Chris. And, it's usually just auto levels, auto contrast and a little unsharp mask. This combo, Acros 100 and Rodinal, has given me pretty consistent results. As long as I'm consistent with my development.
