Parlor.

Intrepid 4x5 Black Edition, 210mm ƒ/5.6 Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S Copal 3, Polaroid 405 back + Fujifilm FP100C.

Reclaimed negative scan

My first @12monthsonfilm post. This was an experiment. The film was in the holder for a while and I'd forgotten which film it was, but I had a faint recollection that it was Fuji FP100C.

So I shot this one picture in the music room. I didn't write down the settings because I just wanted to confirm what film it was, but my suspicions were confirmed.

The pulled print was way underexposed, but I always hold onto the "throw away part" because I get a kick out reclaiming negatives.

Reclaimed negatives… you know, securely taping the emulsion side face down to a piece of glass, fold up and place a paper towel over the black backing and soak it with bleach. Give it 10-15 minutes and then wipe away to see the remaining usable negative! Cool stuff.

I placed the dry negative on the scanner bed as if it were a print. The scan actually turned out! Pretty cool. Not the first time i've tried this trick.

I'm going to get out later in the week with the LF stuff and shoot Instax Wide Color using the LomoGraflok, the remaining FP100C, and if it's sunny Fomopan 100 Sheet, cloudy, Ilford FP5+ sheet film will get used.

@12monthsonfilm sounds like fun.

My main 2024 photography goal is to shoot as much large format as possible, but this challenge is doable in tandem.

I'm gonna start off January shooting with my Intrepid 4x5 Black Edition.

I have a coupla' shots of FP100C left in the Polaroid 405 back, 5 shots of Instax Wide in the LomoGraflok, and 6 film holders loaded up with Fomopan 100 and Ilford HP5 Plus 400.

I still need to figure out the camera/film combos for the next 11 months.

Should be a blast.
