Folgers

through the bell and howell that got a new lens the other day I ran a roll of ilford 400 really quick over a few days, not really shooting anything particularly interesting or good... or knowing its shutterspeeds or what speed of film is recommended for it... I decided to develop it in coffee, which you can find instructions for all over the internet. I don't own any chemicals, so i had no fixer, which in turn lead to almost all images being fogged over when I brought the film into the light, since not all of the silver halide or whatever had been removed from the negs, so it kept exposing basically when I brought it out to dry, plus fogging from the coffee itself... here's a couple from it, basically the only ones visible... Trying it again soon when i can develop in the correct temperature of water, with fixer, and the right coffee measurements and with spindles that won't gnarl my film. Go on, now you try, failure is part of the fun, and it's impossible to fail.

crazy light leaks and developing splotches, but you can see some trees/a horizon around the huge black blotch




more of the same, but this one's rad, my eye obviously... what a gem!







crazy amount of levels in photoshop to make this one visible, there were a few more like this, but they were even more boring and pointless than this stoplight.
