A nibble

...and relax.

@chewyteeth sent me a recovery pack of film when I was feeling pretty down after all the surgery last year. Included was this roll of Kodalith Ortho, a high contrast film, which I have developed using a low contrast developer to improve tonalities.

Cf http://52rolls.net/2014/01/06/kodalith-horse-play/

Taken with Olympus OM-1 on Kodalith Ortho shot at 12 ASA and developed in a mix of Xtol(1:2) and Adonal(1:100) for 10 minutes.

Beautiful rural scene. I used to use a similar technique with high contrast Kodak Technical Pan film and Ethol Tec developer. There is still some in the freezer.

That is nice contrast. nice spread of tones, I thought it must be a bit gnarly but come out very respectable.
