Certainly a solid developer, though if one is going to mix powder then it seems to me that one might as well go for the very similar XTOL. I usually recommend HC-110 for beginners, in part because of the handling - but nothing wrong with D-76, if folks don't mind working with large batches.

I'm an evil globalist, so I gleefully use 'em all. (Though Fuji's slide film is now painfully expensive....)

Yes indeed! Not cheap, but still awesome!

Velvia is not out of production; I had some come in not long ago. Put in an order at e.g. Adorama, and they'll ship it when it arrives. (It will take months, but eventually you'll get it.)

If you switch to an all-film diet, that will speed things up a bit. Possibly with some adverse side effects, but nothing's free.

It's kind of them to provide one with a designated location.

Thank you!

I've only used it here and there - seems to me the best of the Delta series, but in my hands I tend to find the Delta series to be "mushy" (low acutance). T-Max seems sharper, and I prefer the tonality. Love Ilford/Harmon cubic grain film, but for tabular I've had better luck with Kodak. (YMMV.)

Great Egret taking flight👀🌸

PS. the membership of the egret in the dinosaur/archosaur lineage really comes through in this image. Really reminds one of what birds are, from an evolutionary standpoint....

I would like to have a more eloquent descriptor than "wow," but I am unable to produce one. So, wow!

Looking at the skeleton frame - one can never have too many skeletons - it appears that the streak is due to a droplet that ran down the frame, and left drying marks on either side. (This was not as obvious in the other frames.) As always, necromancy to the rescue!

It can be surprisingly cool!

Hmm, I see no spider. Only the fruit of friendship. Or, perhaps, it smiles for some less sanguine reason.

TMX is really beautiful film, though in my experience somewhat unforgiving vis a vis exposure. (The smoothness one can get with it in XTOL is profound.) This really shows how well half-frame can perform with good film and a decent lens...

Chashnik, Il’ia Grigor'evich (Russian artist, early 20th century); "Red Circle and Suprematist Cross"

It reminds me of a dimly remembered Suprematist work. Not this one, which was the closest I could find, but one gets the idea.

Mine keeps getting stuck in the "too important to actually use" queue (admittedly, with a side of "K100 is so good that it's hard to justify it"). I need to actually shoot it. :-)

Especially if you whack someone with a Nikon. They're built like tanks.

This angle is even better than the last one.

You could turn to...the tripods.

Nice!
