I fleetingly, loosely & foolishly thought recklessly? I might switch back to film? However! In a mentally flashing moment I recaptured my sensibilities and immediately dismissed the concept! WHY? Well how many LUG CREW SHOOTERS have shot a working assignment of a few weeks and faced the darkroom with 500 hundred rolls of film to soup and make 2 sets of contact sheets? So my friend as beautiful as your film B&W images are? I honestly have to say? FILM?? NEVER!!!! EVER AGAIN!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) CHEERS, Dr. Ted Grant O.C. :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Wajsman Sent: May-09-18 11:33 AM To: Leica Users Group; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: some film portraits I have been alone at home for the past week, since coming home from Denmark, as my wife has been visiting her family in Puerto Rico. While it is a bit lonely, it does have certain advantages, such as parking my bicycle inside if I wish, and plenty of time to develop and scan a few rolls of film I have shot recently. Inspired by my friend Lars, I have also been experimenting with stand development?no agitation, very dilute developer (Rodinal 1:100 in my case), just let stand for 1 hour. I also developed in a more conventional manner, using ID11+ for a couple of rolls of Fuji Acros. So far I like these four portraits, which prompted me to start a dedicated portrait gallery within my film area on Smugmug. So, here they are: Lars, kind of environmental portrait: https://www.greatpix.eu/FIlm/Film-portraits/i-chNvG2x/A <https://www.greatpix.eu/FIlm/Film-portraits/i-chNvG2x/A> Lars, during a coffee break while visiting Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus: https://www.greatpix.eu/FIlm/Film-portraits/i-mmdMkfL/A <https://www.greatpix.eu/FIlm/Film-portraits/i-mmdMkfL/A> Grainy Lone, a classmate from 6th-9th grade at Skt.
