grolland Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hey everyone! I've just processed this roll of film at home and got it scanned and noticed in the sky at the top of each image there's some mad bubbling effect that looks like black and white lava, I'm really unsure what it is, but it's kinda ruined all these shots. I shot it on my Mamiya 7ii with a 50mm I just got hold of, on Ilford HP5. I shot a second roll of film, same set up and no lava sky. Anyone seen this effect before? Could it be from my development? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Farrell Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It looks like part of the film was above the level of the developer in your tank. This can happen if the reel slips on the centre column in the tank - I have pictures of mine from years ago with this effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 What's your agitation regimen? And do you add a wetting agent to your developer. The effect has all the hallmarks of developer foaming, together with using slightly too little solution in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grolland Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hey John, yes i think you are correct, I had two rolls of 120 stacked in my paterson tank i i don't think i quite filled it all the way up. And Rodeo i think you are correct too about the developer foaming, due to the slightly low level of dev in the tank. thanks for helping me clear that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
