Portra 160NC
Very nice Rob. Have you tried Kodak Portra 400 yet? If yes, then what do you think of it?
I have started using up my Fuji Neopan 400 and am very pleasantly surprised at it performance. Prior to this I had only used the C41 variety and it is a very different animal (the hit and miss Tesco lab processing, at that time, didn't help)
So, Fuji Neopan 400 - in stock D-76



The Fremont Troll. This is a concrete sculpture some people constructed under a bridge. I finally caved at took a token shot of this thing. To get an idea of scale, that is a real Volkswagen Bug clutched in the troll's hand.

One more off the roll, quite like this tmax, interested to see how it compares to the roll of Delta 400 I've got in camera now. this again taken with B+W red/orange filter.

Good results from that stand development. I've had to go to a semi-stand with more agitation because I'd get random, uneven development with the one-hour stand on 120 roll and 4x5 sheet. Your 120 results nice and even.
Oh my oh my! Now your talking real developed tonality and smoothness.
Well done!
As for the first picture Rob, I feel that the background takes alot away from the subject and for some reason I would have thought that picture to be something like Agfa APX or Rollei 100 not Tmax??
annoyed that the sea blew out but learning how this camera meters. from my 2nd roll of film ever:
Brighton - Nikon F301, Expired '02 TMAX 400 BW, 50mm f1.8 AFD

I quite like how it came out actually, gives it an almost 'foggy' effect![]()
Please excuse all the lint and bits on the picture. I (foolishly) bought some cotton gloves so as to 'better' handle the negatives!

Anyway, Using a Nikon 35mm F2 Ais on an FM2n - Nottingham. UK.

...............the place looks deserted for midday, surely it can't be that hot in March/April to keep people indoors.
