#ilfordfp4 — Public Fediverse posts

Closing out my #FP4Party posts with a few more shots from the Graflex up in/near #Asheville. These are from Craggy Pinnacle. They're not perfect but well worth carrying my camera up that trail.

TREES! #FP4Party

I sometimes wonder if I'm getting "boring" taking as many pictures of trees as I do, but then I see some of my favorite photographers on Mastodon also taking a lot of pictures of trees so I feel validated. I love the way that bark looks on B&W film. My wife always gets a chuckle when we're walking and I say “hang on a sec, I gotta get a picture of this great big knobby bastard!”

More observations from the lakeside park. #FP4Party This roll (well, most of this roll) was stuck on 1/4000 shutter speed unbeknownst to me...so I did my first attempt at semi-stand developing. I was expecting these to be trash, but they came out surprisingly well. Stand seems to be good for when one accidentally makes, as my friend @shom says, “egregious shooting choices.”

Some shots from the lakeside park. It was a sunny day so a good time to shoot for #FP4Party

Benches.

I shot a few rolls and sheets of #IlfordFP4 over the last few weeks, so I'm finally ready for a few entries for #FP4Party.

I'll start with a shot from my #Graflex in/near #Asheville. This particular shot was from an overlook on the #BlueRidgeParkway heading toward Craggy Gardens. Shot with a red filter. The 3000 px resolution doesn't do it justice…zooming in on the treeline on the full 4x5 scan is awesome. I've included a snippet of a screenshot as an example.

Pleased with the results from my second jaunt with the 4x5. I tried scanning negs in the print file sleeve, which appears to have improved the focus on the scanner as I'm not able to use a negative carrier. I also had to scan each in two strips (V600 is designed only for 135 and 120 negs) and join them in Affinity Photo. Upside: focus improved. Downside: the sleeves themselves attract a *lot* of dust. The attached have been converted down for Mastodon...they don't do justice to the resolution these have. Full size scans are 15700 × 12500.

The truck picture was a pleasant surprise, it is one of the pictures I forgot to stop down after focusing…I metered a 3 sec exposure at f/22 but fired it at f/4.7 🤦🏻‍♂️ But, the fact that I overexposed by *counts on fingers* SIX STOPS and still got a decent image shows how flexible film is - although perhaps reciprocity failure saved me a bit as well?

I've got another 16-17 sheets of cheap film left to get a little better at this, after that I have a small box of #IlfordFP4 and a small box of #TriX I'm really excited to try.
