Really beautiful these shots in the twilight. London is always fascinating, but at night it becomes magical and mysterious. I often come there for work, but unfortunately I never have time to take some analogue photos. Please tell me how you developed the Fomapan? Were the small white spots due to defects in the film? Unfortunately the foma support is the real weakness of these beautiful films. Bravo for your wonderful video. Edoardo, from Milan
HI Edoardo Thanks for your comment. You are so right about London at night time. It is a magical place. I thing the lights are just cranes the red light on top. I developed the film in Rodinal 1 to 25 for 25 minutes.
The one after the crane gives a really Brassai look 🖤 I was looking for information on Foma pushed 3-4 stops as I wanted a 400 speed film that could cover evening to night time shooting. I’ve shot delta and it is just very nice. For daytime I’ll stick with Foma 200, I love the look I get from it, also I can be pushed 2 stops so it covers my day light needs Just getting stuck on selecting a 400 speed film
I must admit that the result are pretty great for something made without too much care about doing the exact exposure. Some shots are cooked but you made some great image. Thanks for sharing this. I was looking around to find some pushing of fomapan 400. It’s one of my favorite film because it looks amazing when used correctly. In my experience it’s usually fine a 320 in Rodinal. 400 in Rodinal stand dev. Maybe also good at 3200 in Rodinal stand dev (or semi stand).
Some of these shots are very striking. Great experiment. Impressed (and surprised) by how the Fomapan 400 performed rated at 3200 iso and the grain doesn’t look too bad, especially as developed in Rodinal. Some other developers would be interesting to try out with this film/speed combination in the evening light. If some of these photographs were mine, I’d be tempted to enlarge them 👍.
HI Jeremy Thanks for your kind comment. One of my older videos I pushed processed Fomapan 200 to 400 and got some great results. If you look through my videos you should find it. But I will do some more experements with different developers.
@@FilmPhotography I was just curious. I usually auto adjust my TIFF files in Capture One and then adjust exposure, highlights, shadows etc. I thought it would be interesting to see the results. It can certainly bring out the best in a photo.
@@FilmPhotography Thanks ! I think - if you ever get the time - you could do a series of really good instructional videos on film photography… choosing film stocks for the conditions, lighting, composition, developing etc. You have obviously built up a lot of valuable knowledge and skills and I think they would make very interesting viewing. You have a nice non-arrogant presentation style which is very refreshing.
HI Michael That was the plan but I could only find development times for Rodinal to go to 3200iso. If I have a developer that will match. That will do 800iso say in ID-11 I will do that for you.

beautiful photos. I will definitely try it myself sometime.
Thanks for your comment glad you like the video. Would be good to see your results.

I get all my info from Massive dev chart. I found this I hope it helps.
Fomapan 400 Rodinal 1+25 6400 Dev for 90 mins.
Thanks for your comment
@@FilmPhotography thanks I’ll note it down

HI Fork thanks for your comment. I am not a fan of stand development becuase of the time it take. Also living in a cold house no good in winter 😅

An interesting experiment. Do you tweak your images with software?
No to be honest. I just use light table and Negadoctor to convert. I don't do any editing like photoshop/lightroom. Should I do a video on it?

A video would be terrific👍
@@jeremymillen4443 I will do one for you.

Next time when you are pushing a stock to 800 are higher you might should try a lessor grainy developer.
