In mountains area – experimenting with ilford Delta 400

 Hello, there my friends – all you who do stop the run just for a few minutes to read a few words and to browse my next series of images, this time is taken during one day trip to Mitzpe Ramon town in the Negev desert of southern Israel. I am always happy to return there – to this quiet and remote place (around two hours of driving from my home), to feel the wind of desert and the ancient mountains, to sit on the edge and to drink a coffee on the balcony of a Beresheet hotel.

 A few words about this “experiment”. I’m still looking for the “right” way to shoot and to develop films. When I only started to learn the process, I read some mountain of information and recommendations on how to exposure, how to develop and which chemicals to use, and the more I read – the more I got confused, but also got one perfect thing – there are no exact rules, there are many different chemicals and developing technics. Some time ago I came across this interesting and definitely useful article The Zone System is Dead by Johnny Patience – and after attentive reading of the article and a part of the also interesting and useful comments, I decided to try not to just push film to one-two stops, but to mix “over” and “under” exposing and developing processes. It was very easy to choose ISO400 film as a target for experiment bcos of the variety of the stops possible can use to both sides of 400. But Delta was chosen by mistake, even I love the results, but I think it was too risky to experiment with ilford Delta.

 So as said above I exposed this roll with Fujifilm GA645 medium format camera at speed 200 but developed in Kodal d-76 as 800 fast film. Here the whole roll :
