Another Stand Development Experiment

Damn!!! I got undeveloped 12 rolls of 35mm and 5 rolls of 120mm. Its gonna be a long weekend for me to develop all these films. But i got an issue with my Lucky 100s films, I forgot the ISO I used for all the films (moral of the story, please label your film canister with the correct ISO).. DUMBASS!!! The solutions? Stand Development (thanks to Abg Majdi for the tips) I'm using Kodak HC110 diluted to 1:119 ratio, leave it for 2 hours (I agitate for a minute on the 1st minute)... so? this is the results....

Experimenting with Stand Development

Since i was so badly scratched (only God knows why :D), i got some time to figure this thing out. I'm not really familiar with the stand development process, but i've seen the final results from a fellow photographer (Tuan Majdi and Shaf) and morpheuse aka aqmal (morpheuse@livejournal.com) have giving me some pointers on how to make this process work. Some reference from http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/ also helped me through out this process. I went for an outing with Ajeep, Zul, Abg Majdi and Maestro to KTM's building to captured some night scene of the legendary railway station. Armed with Hasselblad 500c/m and Hasselblad SWC (loan from morpheuse) and a roll of Ilford HP5 400 pushed to 3200 i've tried to make my composition of this wonderful architecture.

My stand development recipe

Kodak HC110 dilution 1:119

Ilford Rapid Fixer dilution 1:4

1st minute agitation

developing time 1 hour and 15 minutes

fixed at 5minutes

and this is the only frame that really works. I still can recover the details on the shadows. Its not a good results but for a 1st timer, it quite interesting.... definitely will do this more often...
