Trees at a nearby river, Kodak Tri-X in Bessa R2M<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two rolls of Kodak Tri-X made it into my improvised darkroom. First attempt after more than 20 years, I was quite nervous to see if this will work out. It actually did. I almost couldn\u2019t believe it that the rolls of film had pictures on it \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the negatives I created digital scans, using my more than ten years old scanner with a software update. What surprises me is the little work required to adjust the result – some clarity, contrast correction, little bit of sharpening \u2026 quite a satisfying workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the results \u201cbetter\u201d than digital pictures – no. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They look different, that is all (which is not a small thing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process however – that is where the fun part is. Getting the negatives out of the darkroom with useable results \u2013 that is different than being able to preview your result directly after you took the shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
