Image taken by FKD wooden camera on 18x24 cm mammography xray film. Exposed at f32 for 20 seconds and developed in R09 1:100 for ca. 5 minutes.
The blue sensitivity of the slightly overexposed xray film is responsible for the character of this contact print.

Yashica-Mat and FP4+, supported by another church bench and my own hands, 1/10 sec exposure. I'm happy that I didn't move too much....
I'm also happy with FP4+ in Rodinal, whenever I want some additional contrast or power, like in low-light or low-contrast situations. I used +10% development time for this roll to get some extra oomph.
In the bright Italian sun I decided to use Xtol 1+1, which seems to control the highlights better, see most of my other recent uploads.
So I'm slowly and finally beginning to understand B&W film development, I hope.
