I don’t even know where this roll of film came from. It just appeared in my fridge. A roughly 12-years-expired roll of 120 Ilford Pan F. Initially a 50 ISO film I shot it at 25 ISO due to the age.
After getting back in to film photography I’ve shot a wide variety of film stocks. I decided to spend some time with just a single stock/developer combo with the goal of learning how it use it well. Because it’s inexpensive and readily available I picked Ilford HP5 as my stock. And because I like how…
After watching some Pictoral Planet videos I wanted to try developing film with Rodinal. Ilford HP5 seemed like a great stock to use for this.
I really like this photo, though I wish I had framed it slightly better. A step or two to the left and a slight crouch would have made a huge improvement, I think. Instead there’s this huge black nothingness in the top right corner.
