I just wanted to mention that real progress is being made with the VOP. See the latest commits in the develop branch.
It’ll be merged with Main once I make sure all the features that are in Main has gotten ported to the develop branch. It’s slow but steady… unpayed… work.
Did you survive my move to an updated wordpress getup? No? Well. You wanna hear about something worse? No? Well, joke’s on you then. Because, if you look up in the menu of my website. You can find a link to my first ever public Codeberg Repo. The VOP. It’s a big project. Not sure how I’ll get it done. But it’s there at least. I just figured I’d make it public. I can make it comprehensible later.
So this here is the notes function of indieweb on wordpress, ey?
I do wonder how this will look aorund other parts of the site.

Well, I for some reason wanted to do some more film photography, so I got myself a bunch of rolls of various forms of black and white stock. I also got a fresh bottle of Cinestill DF96 (because I am a bit cheap and a single monobath is still the most cost effective option).
The thing I mainly wanted to try out with this first roll was slow film. So I loaded my camera with some Ilford Pan F 50. I wanted to go further down the ISO range so I rated it at 25. Pulling it a stop. And I started shooting.
To my main dismay. I got about a dozen shots in… And I couldn’t ignore one thing. The thing being… that the roll-crank wasn’t moving when I cranked forward each new shot. I’ve seen this happen before… and I got saddened. It meant I fumbled the loading. I opened the thing up and sure enough. Not a single exposure was done on a fresh bit of film. I mean. I am a bit miffed about it. I mean. I had gotten some great shots of moose-poo, I thought!
Oh well. Reload properly. Some test shots. Yup. Now the thingy moves as it should. And a few days later. I have the roll fully exposed, I have it developed. And I start to scan.
And to tell the truth. Yes. I really liked the results… for the first half. But for the other half… Where I really commited to using my red filter to try to get extra contrast. Wow. There was pretty much nothing there. I mean. Out of 36 shots on the roll. I have deemed 21 sort of fit for public consumption. But really… the last few… No. Not only did I lose all sort of good contrast. But I also started seeing splotches from something in the developing. And there’s some light leaks during the long exposures…
All in all… Lets call it a learning experience.
Not quite sure though what I’ll load with for the next roll. I am tempted to do Ilford Delta 3200 at 1000. But I will need those rolls later on next week. But knowing myself.. I probably won’t be shooting much on film until then anyways.
Anywhoo. Here be the results that I am willing to share.
