thank you :) it was part of a roll of test shots. I still have a roll of color film that I need to develop sometime that I am very sure I got some great photos on it, but we'll have to wait and see ;)

Cheers. I have three sets of camera formats. One digital cameras. Two darkroom bw cameras. Three instant film cameras, like polaroids or Fuji instax/evo cameras. I used to scan bw film prints also, but now the scanner won’t connect with the computer.
Also I noticed there are four formats of photo prints. 1/- horizontal 2/- verticals 3/- squares 4/- panoramics.
They also have some verticals with circles on them. Just shooting my head of. Have fun, happy shooting and editing.

Oh that is a lot of really cool gear actually. Im gonna be honest, darkroom development is just a little too complex for me i also don't have the space for that. Although it would be very beneficial if i were to do that and get a flatbed scanner. Right now tho i directly scan my 35mm negatives using a primefilm 7200 (reflecta crystalscan 7200 in germany) it's a manual scanner which takes ages is a bit defective and needs a lot of fiddling about, but when it works. Well the results look pretty good. Although it says it can do 7200dpi, it actually scans at 3600dpi tho to reach that Resolution i need to double the scanning resolution. So basically there is a lot of redundant data that i need to remove by downscaling the image after the fact (which i need to do for this site anyways. The size and resolution limit is archaic and honestly frustrating to deal with) even when downsized to half the scanning resolution the files still take up almost 400MB per image sometimes. Nevertheless, it's fun to do and I'm actually going to start at least developing film at home in the near future to save on costs.
Cheers.

I used to shoot film, with a Nikon fm10. I also have a blackbird, fly TLR Camera. Also purchased an ilford pinhole camera obscura. So those are my black and white film darkroom cameras. I used to do darkroom work in my bathroom, which had red tiles, so when you would put the red light on to do dark room work it would be completely red. But now they have busted that bathroom and I had a low quality enlarger which is also bust. I could manage need an enlarger. I’ve got developer fixer. Though my darkroom prints are nothing compared to yours, also I have d 76 developer. Earlier on they would give some local developer fixer which I could use. Been a long time since I got into the darkroom, though now I edit on the computer. It’s fun though. Need an enlarger then I could get into the darkroom again. Peace.,

ah. as a certain painter would have said "there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents" -Bob Ross (Robert Norman Ross)
the fact that the image is a little soft is not a focus issue, I was legit just not able to get a high enough shutter speed for handheld in that moment and to be honest, had some shaky hands. I also like the result and felt it added to the image but was very much having a hard time deciding whether or not to upload it. I'm glad it worked out in the end!
I did get into film by accident. I bought some vintage lenses which came with a film camera, an old Voigtländer Vito-B, a lovely little thing. that kinda kickstarted it all. I have since upgraded from that to a Minolta XG9, then a Nikon FA, and finally: the Nikon F4, which I got for a very good price.
