Got a roll of Ilford HP5+ 400 back from Gareth today. Pretty pleased with the outcome considering the actual shooting was a bit aimless. Much more grain and contrast than I was expecting for a 400 speed film. I suspect Ilford is going to open up a whole new can of worms to investigate…
Hmmm. I did forget to mention that I did make a bit of a mistake with this roll – I added the fix before the stop (should be the other way round). I realised my mistake almost as soon as I had done it so it was only for about 10-20 seconds but Im glad you are pleased with the results (and this is probably a known “technique”). In fact I can’t belive how much better Ive become at developing film in such a short space of time.
You probably did. I’d've just looked at you blankly and gone “u-huh…”
