  1. Pleased overall with both the new notching system and 3 of 4 of the pictures themselves. Scanned at 1200 DPI and lightly edited in #Darktable (I removed a few dust spots, cropped, and upped the contrast very slightly).

    You can tell from one of these pictures especially that we are still in a pretty heavy drought.

  6. It worked!!! The rounded notches don’t look quite as round as I’d like, but I should be able to easily work on that. Might make the “5s place” notches square instead of rounded, to easily distinguish from the triangular notches…but as long as I know rounded is on the top and triangular is on the bottom, might be a moot point.

    I can also tell I need to take a wire brush or something to get a few remaining burrs off that the rocket blower didn’t take care of. Easy fix. I’ll be going through and doing this for the rest of my film holders…it will make matching shots to my notes much easier without the futility of trying to keep track of the order I load on the reel in the dark bag. Especially when I bracket 2 or 3 exposures of the same composition.

    These frames, from front to back, are numbers 10-7 descending. I hope to be able to scan these tomorrow, albeit at the mercy of my “real job.” I was a little nervous because it was hot today and the tap water was pretty warm, I calculated a developer time of only 3:15 but my effort to load and unload chems from the tank rapidly along with the rotational development seems to have been okay. These negs are uniformly dense, at least they look to be so when wet.

  11. Took files to two of my film holders for an experiment after reading about this method as well as a few others. This one seems easier to use than the “binary notches that you have to hold up to a scale” method. I’m a little skeptical given I was supposed to file only the bottom layer of the bottom hinged piece - wouldn’t the top layer still mask the end of the film sheet?

    But no harm in trying! Round notches are 5s and triangle notches are 1s, so this is frame number 7. I just happened to have holders labeled 7-10 at the top of the stack of empties so that’s what I started with. Hoping to take a few exposures this afternoon to test (as well as as an excuse to test the new backpack I got after lugging my #CrownGraphic up a mountain trail in a shoulder bag…

    If anyone has tips or knowledge about this method or how to improve it, please let me know!

  16. @Moaske There’s also #AnalogPhotography and I’m trying to get #DevelopYourOwn to stick for those of us who do our own development, but I don’t know if it’s working 🤣

    Then of course there’s #LargeFormat and #MediumFormat and #35mm as well as events that take place from time to time like #FolderWeek (using older folding-style cameras) which just passed, and recently we also had #FP4Party - if you follow more and more film folks here you’ll quickly build up a list of hashtags. Some of us use some and some of us use others, it’s a mixed bag.

  21. My first few sheets of #TriX in the Graflex are nice and dense. Much denser off the bat compared to the Arista 100 I’ve finally finished working through. Two more exposures to go - have to wait for Sir-Leaks-A-Lot to dry out…

    Two of the sheets look like I could’ve slid them further into the film holders. Will need to keep that in mind as I load some for a trip to the mountains this weekend. Planning on taking some #FP4 as well as various other films for other formats.

  22. Heading to the mountains for the weekend. With the #Graflex I’m taking some #320TXP and some #FP4. I think I’ve got this bag about maxed out…

  23. #intro I share my process more than products. If you want products, see my websites. Born of a concert pianist and Navy Seal. I pursued jazz sax through childhood, then, as a young man, Architecture & the Arts. This formal education led to early career adventures in feature film production. Have been doing my own multidisciplinary thing since 1994. From age 10, I have trained to understand and express the place where mind and body intersect. #50ten40 #meditation #neuroscience #martialart #mindbody #art #artist #creator #maker #weld #tigweld #migweld #torchweld #metalsmith #fabricate #design #film #filmmaking #iatse44 #union #encaustic #architecture #permaculture #permatecture #instructionaldesign #photography #istillshootfilm #photorealism #darkroom #MediumFormat #RB67 #LargeFormat #mindbody #learning #edutech #fedi22 #foss #floss #opensource #loq #cio #cto #author #writing #scot #clanlamont #kntroduction #MastodonMigration
