Can you tell I don't like HP5 and the boulders (...not grain...) it brings with it... LOL!

It just so happens that I have enough Ilford HP5+ on hand that I can devote some of it to an experiment. Call it expanding my creative envelop or a controlled experiment. Exposed at various E.I. and sloshed in a variety of developers at my disposal. I will create a control negative: unexposed, fixed out HP5+, slathered with mineral oil and dreged in fresh kitty litter.

We shall see if things are recognizable through the rubble.

Stand by.

I just got a new bottle of DD-X, so if you'd like me to shoot 200, 400, and 800 developed in DD-X just let me know. Of course it may take a while. I've got tons of scanning to get done. Tons.

Bring it on. There are two threads of photos by a fellow Texan (Austin) at the Nikon Cafe. Pentax 6x7 & HP5+. Grainless as always.

Hard to do with those big negatives.
I looked and didn't see any developer listed. What did you use?

That is good news. In case I need to send film out.
You should learn. It's easy & cheap.
