Fomapan turns out to be quite the decent brand. I’m quite happy with the results. So today I printed the contact sheet along with some preliminary prints I liked.
In case anyone is a complete newbie (which I sympathize with), I used a 2.0 multigrade filter. As for the exposure, it’s slightly different in each darkroom so the easiest thing to do is expose the whole sheet for 10s at f8 and then increment 3s per strip. Then figure out which strip looks best and use that exposure time. Pretty simple.
Now for the prints, first a couple of 8×10s:
and a few 5×7s
(the scan over highlights the bottom left corner, it’s not that bad on the print)
So all the prints were done with a 2.0 multigrade filter. That may have been overdoing it but I do like the results for the most part. Damn, printing is so much fun, I’m addicted. I could seriously spend all day and night doing this. Well as long as I’m printing my own photos, haha.
Thanks for looking.
