REICHENAU MILL -CAFFENOL DEVELOPER

[LAWRIE]

I spent this morning at one of my favourits haunts - Reichenau mission. As my aim was to test Caffenol and Fuji Acros, I looked for textures, contrast and low-light subject matter. I am pleased with the developer/film combination, particularly the way in which it handled difficult lighting situations.

6x6 Pinhole camera with 38mm f/l
Acros developed in Caffenol.
Scanned and toned in Lightroom. Warmish highlights and coolish shadows.

Lawrie:

The second one is lovely, but I keep going back to the first. I think that it works really well. It exhibits pinholiness.

I have been concentrating on the Caffenol-C-M formula. At first appearance the noticeable fog level concerned me but the final scans show no ill effects. I will be adding a little potassium bromide to reduce fog.
