I’ve been so enamored of my Holga lately that haven’t shot the Bronica much at all (check out my new Holga site, BTW). There was a roll of long-expired Ilford Delta 3200 in it, and I had no real idea what was even on it. I developed the roll yesterday. Big ugly stripe across the whole roll, not sure if I have some issue with my camera, or if it was the development process. You can see the dark stripe on the right side of this pic; it’s a lot worse on the film…I’ve mitigated it it in Photoshop somewhat here.
I took this shot a couple of months ago, while hanging out in the shop, waiting for my mechanic to finish up with my car.
And two more shots from the same roll:

I have never done any film work for a paid shoot, and since I moved away from strobes long before coming to film, I’ve also never used strobes with film before. Rachel decided to change that this week. She wanted her shots done on film, and she also wanted classic Hollywood portrait lighting. She specifically mentioned George Hurrell. Of course, with my strong preference for big, nearly flat window and reflected light, I’m pretty much the anti-Hurrell; not to mention I don’t have a large format camera and am fresh out of 30″ fresnels. I did the best I could in my small studio space with two strobes. The main was a small softbox and the accent light was a beauty dish with a sock.
I shot these with the F100 and the Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 (pre-AI, converted). The film was Fomapan 100, developed in 1:75 Rodinal. One minute agitation, 25(ish)-minute stand, repeated once.
