I shot a roll (120) of FP4 today, and just got done developing it, but boy
is something wrong. I developed it as per the instructions for HC110 dil B

Hi. I know this isn't rec.photo.people, but that group is a little, uh,
weird, so I thought I might try asking here.
I was at a street fair recently and took some shots. I'd like to post them
on my web site, but....some of the shots are not all that complimentary.

I want to use Rodinal for my first experience in a darkroom
my question:
How must use Rodinal 1.25 for 300 ml water ??
300 ml water + 12 ml Rodinal  OR

I have been recently playing with lots of liquid emulsion (exposing to
wood, metal, glass, etc) and my next interest is shooting onto flat
glass (quartz, to be precise) and then actually blowing it into a
shape (like a vase, etc).

I am trying to find a source of DK50 developer, particularly if the

I'm wondering if anyone is doing fiber prints in any of Nova's non-FB
vertical processors (i.e the ones that are really vertical, not
slanted.)  I'm assuming that the FB holders they make will work in
these.  Are there any problems with the paper buckling, etc. under its

This first roll was to establish exposure/development/filter

I want to make my own developers where are the places to order from in North
America. I'm in Canada. There's a guy who sells a lot on ebay does he really
have the goods or are there better and cheaper outlets elsewhere? Thx.

OK I'm looking at some "alternative" processes on the PhotoFormulary site.

When would I need this? and how do you print 15-20 stops on paper? Is it
just giving me more choice as to what area I'm going to ...
