  1. <p>I need to keep learning so that I can do this stuff on purpose and not by accident, though. :(</p>
  2. <p>How many stops is that and how did you develop it?</p>
  3. <p>PS: This is my first post to Photo.net. I still need to learn how to navigate the site.</p>
  4. <p>Honestly… This couldn't get any worse… even the stand development time was a mistake. I had done a stand development for 2 hours once for this same mistake, only I had accidentally shot the 80 at 400 (again, thinking I had 400 in my camera). So, pushing it to 800 was a HUGE mistake<br> The first time, the 2 hours stand managed to produce some very thin negatives. I am in the process of having them scanned with a very good scanner and I will be able to pull them out in photoshop… but, I digress.<br> Full disclosure: I didn't choose the 4 hour time. I just rationalized that the 2 hours stand was barely enough for the 80 pushed to 400, I knew I needed to add more time, so I just figured another hour wouldn't hurt. THEN, I accidentally lost track of the time and remembered after 4 hours!! I really had no hope for this film.<br> So, the negatives are VERY contrasty. My scanner has a difficult time with them. Its an Epson V600. I have to use the histogram to make them pretty flat to get the highlight details. I then added contrast back in photoshop. Also… (and I'm not sure if I like this) I added vignetting because of the blown out highlights in the upper right corner. It kind of took the eye there. I'll work on that. <br> I have no idea if I could get this same result if I enlarged these in an enlarger. It might be that they are only useable through digitally dealing with the contrast issues. But, the main thing is… all the detail is there and I was able to pull it out. <br> I am not sure if I will use this particular image, but it is part of a project or series I am working on photographing women artists. My plan is to print them in Palladium and I will be using digital negatives to do contact printing anyway.<br> I am fairly new to film photography so I am kind of glad this happened, because it really taught me a lot about the inverse relationships between time and light. :)</p> <p> </p>
  5. <p>Well… I did a 4 hour stand development in HC-110 (H). I cannot believe it myself.</p><div></div>
  6. <p>I thought I had Rollei 400 in my camera and pushed it to 800. When I removed the roll, I realized it was actually Rollei 80! Someone recommended a stand development in HC110 dilution H. Any thoughts or suggestions? Can this roll be saved?</p>
