1 word: desolation
January 15th, 2008
HC 110 B seems not to be the best developer for your Deltas. At least not, if you want to scan them.

Very nice content - captures the feel of the plains in winter.
The grain seems accentuated - almost looks like reticulation, but I don’t think chomogenic film suffers from reticulation the same way silver halide films do. Interesting effect, especially in the first print.

‘HC 110 B seems not to be the best developer for your Deltas.’
I agree, but for these, I was going for that grainy look. I’ll probably print these a bit darker than what I’m showing here.
Max, it probably is a bit of reticulation, but Delta 400 in HC110 B is a pretty grainy combo to begin with.

The drive from St. Louis via Effingham is fairly wooded, at least while you’re on I-70. Once you turn north, however, you quickly discover why Illinois is called “The Prairie State.”

It’s also a radio dead zone. When I was a kid, the Illinois section of the twice yearly, family trip from Rolla up to Michigan was known as ‘The place where walkman batteries go to do die.’

Matt, or participants, is HC110-B a good combination with TriX film? I seem to recall using that combination some 30 years back. In ths case Delta 400, the Massive Dev chart suggests 7.5 minutes at 20C. Is that in the neighborhood for you, Matt?
January 15th, 2008
I’d have to check my notes at home, but 7.5 minutes sounds right.
I have vague memories of using HC110 with TriX a couple of years back with good results. I think this guy uses TriX in HC110. I’ve got some TriX on the shelf, but I probably won’t get around to trying this combo again for another couple of weeks.

When I got the BW film bug a few years ago, a friend recommended the combination of Tri-X and HC-110. I was very happy with it. They work very well together.
Nice photos, Matt. Although, I must say that as a native North Dakotan it still looks a little too urban for me.

“it still looks a little too urban for me.”
Yeah, the next house is rarely beyond the horizon in Illinois.
