picsbymac replies:
Yes. I'm still getting the hang of replying here. Thank you for a warm welcome.

I shot this with a Minolta Maxuum 70, Sigma 70-300mm macro lens using Delta 100 that I developed in Ilfosol per the fact sheet. I use a Canoscan 8400F to scan my negs. No adjustments were made scanning this one however I did bump the contrast up (with MS Picture Manager of all things).

well that is interesting... i bought a big box of TMax 100 4x5 sheets cheaply and i have been struggling a bit finding the best process for it. thanks for the tip (puts ilfosol on shopping list)

Also a favourite :)
Macro shots are just great, who'd have thought a simple dandelion could look so interesting closeup.

As for the developing, I'm getting the itch to accumulate some darkroom gear of my own.

Thanks David. Remember - once you start scratching you'll have a tough time stopping : )

That's b&w work at its finest; too bad usual computer screens aren't capable of reproducing all the nuances...

Thank you for commenting on this one...it's one shot that I'd like to work with in the darkroom, experiment with different papers and maybe toning. One day.

chw replies:
One day... don't we all yearn for that day in the undefined future? :-)
Hm, I miss the darkroom, but with time being so precious I feel it's already luxury to shoot film and do the scanning stuff when I could just as well use the DSLR...
