Yesterday, I had one frame of film left in my Nikon F3.<\/p>\n

I’d been exposing photos of Dublin’s North Side and I wanted to process the film before dinner.<\/p>\n

I exposed this view of Heuston Station and the old Kingsbridge (now Sean Heuston Bridge) on frame 37.<\/p>\n

The sky was impressive; dark blue with textured clouds rolling across it like a flowing tapestry.<\/p>\n

To make the most of the usual light, I did a few tricky things.<\/p>\n

I exposed the film for the sky and clouds with the intention of some non-standard chemical processing.<\/p>\n

To make the most of the shadows with out roasting the highlights, I presoaked the film in a very dilute bath of Kodak HC110 at 75F for 6 minutes with very little agitation. Then, I drained the presoak solution and processed the film in Ilford ID11 mixed 1-1 with water at 68F for 7 minutes (considerably less than the recommended time).<\/p>\n

The results were even better than I expected.<\/p>\n
