Hey everyone. My name is Andrew. I'm a photographer. Recently, I've been finding myself more and more engrossed in film photography. After talking to a lot of friends and family, and spending lots of hours doing research on the internet, I've discovered something:
Despite the wealth of information available on the internet about film and developer combinations, it's tough to find it all organized into one place in a way that's useful.
In addition, film and developer combinations are totally subjective. Certainly there are popular pairings that many photographers use, but there is no "best" combo for everything or everyone. Because of this, I've set out on a quest to test out all the film and developer combinations that are interesting to me.
As I go, I want to keep organized and documented results, and I decided to put them online so that the next poor film photographer who doesn't know where to start with his/her film and developer preferences can get an idea of what to expect by reading here.
Each post will have the recipe I used, the developing process, and perhaps most importantly, scanned negatives and 100% crops to see grain details so you can make decisions based on what you see, rather than confusing phrases like "higher acutance but muddy shadow details" that seem to run rampant throughout all the Google searches I've done.
Over time, I also plan to carefully keyword my posts to form sort of a database that will be easily searchable for those who already know what they would like to compare.
