Brace yourself for a long post today, with many pics selected form two rolls of Ultrafine Xtreme 400. If you look through this blog, you will find out that in 2018, I shot an entire 30m roll of Ultrafine Xtreme 400. I quite like this film and my usual lab was doing a good job […]
This is the roll number 40 of 2020, and the one for which I break even on my Caffenol investment. At 7$ per roll at the local lab, I am now breaking even on my dark bag, Vitamin C, Soda ash, Fixer and first batch of coffee. October is a big period for Taoist faith, […]
So everything change and nothing changes. Back on the road this week end for a quick visit to the Bedok South Market Bedok is on the east side of Singapore, nearly an hour of public transport from my place, in direction of the airport. The market is somewhat small and contains the many usual sections […]
Processing film at home is a funny activity, actually it is a very modern one, inline with instant self rewarding of Instagram and phone-o-graphy. So after 4 weeks wit the same brew, I decided it was time for fresh coffee. I followed the same recipe but added some table salt, which is supposed to limit […]
Here I am back for the fourth week with my Caffenol. I intended this week to be the last of my first brew. I was encouraged by the last weeks experience and became a bit too bold maybe and alas the issues added to the issues. First for this last batch I chose to process […]
I am pushing my luck by trying the my brew from two weeks ago again this Sunday. First things first, shooting a bit of film. The weather is not improving and I did not had a chance to shoot much this past week. So this morning I loaded the old Agfa Isolette with a roll […]
So what happened since last post and the “Caffenol rebirth” ; well nothing much happened in town nor to myself, so I shot half a roll of Fuji Across, mostly Saturday Last Sunday I pour my Caffenol in a bottle of green glass (Perrier) and kept in just in case. So tonight I was restless […]
7 years after my last failed experiments I am back again toying with Caffenol to process my black and white film. Do not try to figure out why I do not use standard methods, I cannot myself. This time again I have put all the odds against me, I found a box of 5 year […]
If you read the last post, you have heard of my issues with Caffenol here is Singapore; the pictures below are taken what I refer to as film number 3. This is a Fuji Neopan 100 which is supposed to be Caffenol friendly. I shot the film (only 12 shots in Medium Format) in Chinatown one […]
2 years ago I have been very happy trying to process my black and white film at home with the Caffenol recipe. I did 7 rolls at a time, and some produced some very fine pics. To make sort, you mix washing soda and instant coffee, add a bit of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and […]
