matthew_rusbarsky Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 <p>I've been braving the cold with my Graflex 22 model 200. The last of my Plus-X in Rodinal 1:50. From here on on Ilford will be getting what little I have to spend on film.<br> Baltimore light rail heading over the mud flats of the Middle Branch:<br> <img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m137/Proteus617/Graflex22/img006a640x-1.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>the Jones Falls in winter:<br> <img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m137/Proteus617/Graflex22/img011a640x.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Alianthus altissima (aka:the ghetto palm) vs. the warehouse:<br> <img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m137/Proteus617/Graflex22/img010a640x.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>In the above photo there is a tiny piece of trash at the point where the roots penetrate the brickwork. Here's a tight crop. Not bad for a triplet:<br> <img src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m137/Proteus617/img010bdetail.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Thanks for looking!<br> Regards,<br> Matthew</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomscott Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 <p>I'm sorry but, what is too bad about Plus X? Are there more rumors about it being discontinued? <a href="../film-and-processing-forum/00WEsn">http://www.photo.net/film-and-processing-forum/00WEsn</a> This is the last thing I heard about it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 <p>A worthy salute to a fine film. The "Jones Falls" image is great, brimming with winter mood. Thanks for sharing, <strong>Matthew</strong>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew_rusbarsky Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 <p>Thanks everyone. Tom, I'm pretty sure that it's official that PlusX has been discontinued in long roll and 120, 35 is still hanging on.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Very nice images and I too am surprised to hear about Plus-X. The Jones Falls is very tone rich and an excellent study. Very impressed with the trash piece and the resolution of that triplet too. Seeing the Middle Branch train made me think of some of Bodines work? You know who I mean right?

matthew_rusbarsky Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 <p>Either Bodine was the Ansel Adams of the Chesapeake, or Adams was the Aubrey Bodine of the American West. I'm in the latter camp.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_foreman1 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 <p>Well put Matt. This analogy should find a wider audience. I fear Bodine is lost to the masses!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
