Is it something that has to be rinsed off after processing? Any ideas?MattBolex7https://www.blogger.com/profile/03665843397954325241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573193546035756071.post-83248069385847219852013-04-11T08:37:25.793+01:002013-04-11T08:37:25.793+01:00Yes, it is on www.photographync.blogspot.co.uk - t...Yes, it is on www.photographync.blogspot.co.uk - the blog of the photography department at Northampton College, where I lecture in photography. Apparently, HC110 is good at reducing fog on film so I use it for out of date Kodak Infrared film. (It is of course ALL out of date, but I keep it frozen) I have used Rodinal extensively, but mostly for Agfa film. On the blog there are also several posts about an exhibition I mounted at the Bibliotheque in Bourges - it is about some discovered glass plates from which I printed images in the darkroom. These feature the Témoin family, and most were photographed on Lumiere 'Plaques Bleu' - a very fast plate from 1900, that allowed exposure times of around 50th sec.MattBolex7https://www.blogger.com/profile/03665843397954325241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573193546035756071.post-13248349993099757742013-04-10T15:04:39.657+01:002013-04-10T15:04:39.657+01:00Thanks for your comment.

Have you posted your results anywhere?Nicholas Middletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069364566487735897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1573193546035756071.post-44792539466759560052013-04-02T13:17:55.216+01:002013-04-02T13:17:55.216+01:00Thanks for this - very interested in the potential...Thanks for this - very interested in the potential of glass plates. Pretty amazed they still work! I also found some Ilford G.30 plates, and shot them at 10iso - after your comments, but processed them in HC110B for ten minutes - seemed perfectly good at this.MattBolex7https://www.blogger.com/profile/03665843397954325241noreply@blogger.com
