I'm slowly crawling through my library of 12,000 unprocessed photos and came across a lovely summer tradition in Seattle – Seafair.<br>

Nikon D80, 55-200mm ED @ 125mm, ISO 250, f/10, 1/640 sec.</p>

<p>I've been admiring Nikon Wednesdays for a while and this is my first post – but first, some responses to all of your wonderful photos:<br>

<br /> Ken Yamamoto – love the angle! Makes me laugh.<br /> Lawrence Ho – That's one snarky looking seagull – nice capture.<br /> James Kazan – Beautiful Composition. My favorite today.<br /> Steve Hughes – Breath taking!<br>

<br /> Took mine at a new monument at the University of Washington honoring Medal of Honor recipients<br>

I'm thinking I should have developed it longer.

 

I fixed a couple of negatives by themselves for another 15 minutes, with minimal change.

 

Alas, I developed the prints (although rather slowly) and they're turning out fine. About 4 minutes for a 5x7 at f 2.8.

 

Another question (as I'm just getting my feet wet again in the dark room), am I able to redevelop, restop and refix from the beginning once I've already fixed the negs? I'm not suspecting I am able to do so, but it might be worth a shot.

 

But thanks for your help, both John and Chris. I appreciate it. :)

Alright, and it doesn't matter that I've photoflo'd already?

 

I'll do it tonight, at about 2 minute intervals and see if it fixes up the film, wash, then photoflo.

 

Thanks John.

Hey everyone,

I took the risk of developing my C-41 films with TMAX developer. Someone on these forums mentioned it had

miraculously worked with their XP2 and XP1 as long as development times were extended about 25% of recommended

for T-Max 400 film so I figured i'd experiment.

 

So, I tried it, took the risk and i'm noticing a thick layer that is very dense on the negatives (nothing

developed completely through, but I do have the images on one layer of film, so they're not completely ruined.)

My question is whether or not you think I'll be able to develop this with C-41 process and whether I could clear

up those back layers. I realize that C-41 is a layered process (although I just now understand that), and i'm

wondering after my development process, whether or not I could salvage or make these negatives better.

 

My process:

Tmax developer - 6.75 minutes - Agitate first 30 seconds, then agitated 10 seconds every thirty seconds after that.

 

Water - 4 minutes - agitated 10 seconds every thirty seconds.

 

Kodafix - 6 minutes - Agitated first 30 seconds, agitated 10 seconds every thirty seconds after that.

 

Wash for 10 minutes, then photoflo'd and dried.

 

Thanks,

James
