Windshield wiper squeegees?
Funny, immediately after reading her post my mind also went to the VW windshield wiper! I think I first read about it in the Whole Earth Photography Catalog. For RC I use a Falcon Roller, I have my original and two spares, the first spare I bought had almost square rollers from bad storage or God kn...

Supermarket Washing Soda
Supermarket washing soda is fine for home brew wash aids and the caffenol crowd loves it for developer compounding. I get better results with the swimming pool pH Plus for the same uses. For my day job, I use chemicals from Artcraft with the occasional nod to Photographer's Formulary.

Just getting started with cyanotype
My first posting was more an intro than anything and eventually the workflow will either be digital 8x10 negative > alternative print and/or 8x10 camera > 8x10 negative > alternative print but that's on hold for now. I have a light source with 6 FT20CW bulbs and some 8x10 sunprint material to play w...

Winter Heating
My darkroom is in my basement, in Iowa most other options are not feasible. I do use a small window air conditioner in the Summer and a small space heater in the Winter but the darkroom is a pretty comfortable 60-80 F so neither works too hard. I also use a dehumidifier in the Summer time to keep th...

Just getting started with cyanotype
Sitting right in the middle of a big Iowa blizzard this morning but my paper is supposed to be here today. I have an 8x10 studio camera (now just need to find my 8x10 back) in the meanwhile I guess I'll shoot 5x7 and also do some 8x10 digital negatives. More to come I guess, funny, I started as a 35...

One man's sauce is another man's cyanide! I, too, would like to see an example.

Re: TriX 400 Pushed 3200 & Hc-110
Wow, even back in the day Tri-X was rarely pushed more than two stops, that's EI1600, and personally i don't consider HC110 to be a "high energy" developer like Acufine, Microphen, or Rodinal. That said, if you want to try semi stand development in a Paterson tank, process only one roll at...
