Okay, I've just developed my 3rd roll today and with the help of all the advice you gave me I got much better results, again. Thanks for that =) The shots aren't anything special, I shot some nice clouds today (awesome weather, sun with those great clouds) and I also shot myself in the head, so to speak :) Well, I cropped my own shot a bit, cause I still can't aim very well, but I did get some (very modest and humble) inspiration from some other great shots that were posted in the gallery. I didn't really set anything up, but I just wanted to test developing with as less grain as and, at the same time, as much contrast as possible with a roll of T-Max 100. First thing that I learned from developing is that T-Max 100 film really punishes you hard for mistakes.....it's probably the least forgiving film I've tried for some time. (I heard Tri-X is much friendlier. Anyone know this ?) Anyway, here are too shots. They had a lot of scratches (my own mistake), so these two are still the only ones that I've corrected sofar. But no real corrections other than levels and removing the scatches. Comments on both the photos and developing are more than welcome =)
