Cowries

...rocks and sea.

Taken with Toyo-View 45CF field camera with 6x7 roll film back, using Nikkor-M 300mm lens at f.90 for 5 seconds on Rollei Digibase 200 colour film. Developed in Tetanal 2 bath C41 kit: developer 3:30 mins and blix 6:00 mins.

This film is interesting in that it is designed purposely to be developed in either E6 or C41 chemistry.

I developed in Tetanal rather than the Rollei kit with the film ending up being very thin and curly making it hard to scan. Love the colours though which has the feel of cross processing.
Love this one Peter. Something about it that I can't put into words.

@westcoastwallis I'm not sure large format field cameras were designed to do this, but loving I can take long exposures without the need for filters using tiny apertures and am getting accurate colour representation

@peterdegraaff really! No filter! Well that is pretty exciting. I'm just looking into an ND filter for my 24-70mm lens - it's time for me to delve into the world of daytime long exposure.

@westcoastwallis I use ND on digital camera, especially at dawn. Creates amazing effects and colours but it is really to compensate for lenses only being to stop down to f.22.

This is a very cool processing. How do you think it would have looked different if you chose the other method?

This is lovely, so much detail in the rocks
