This time I used my D800 to take the portrait with my 24-70. All conversion work was done using Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.

Here’s another shot from the same roll. This time a little more high key. I used the same method with Adox adonal as my last shot.

I developed my film as follows at 20°C:-
Adox Adonol 1:100 (That’s 495mls water to 5 ml Adonal)
Inversions for the first minute. Then left to stand 29 mins then 3 more inversions and left to stand for a further 30mins. Stopped with water for one minute inversions constantly and then Fixed 5mins (T-Max fixer)and washed for 10mins.

If anyone is reading this and wondering about using 120 film, let me just say that 120 roll film is a joy to work with. 12 shots on a roll suits me in addition to my mind it’s a lot less of a fiddle to load a tank with.I have never had any trouble with jamming a reel, then having to start again in the dark. So go and try some :0)

I thought I’d have another stab at this picture I took of the orange rose. I used the orange filter in Silver Efex Pro 2 and added a Vignette with preset in Aperture. I like this result . What do you think?

Something a bit different. This orange rose lay on our table Sunday morning. It was just begging to to photographed. I now use this shot as desktop wallpaper. All post is done in SilverEfex Pro 2 using the Selective colour function.
