Caffenol
Part 111
&
Pin-hole box timber toy camera
Part 1v


Camera: Timber Box

Lense: Pinhole
Film: Kodak Gold 200
Develop: Caffenol 24mins-->fixer agitated 30sec (mistake)-->stop 7mins

Scan: Epson V600


1. i loaded the pin-hole box camera with 24 exposure-kodak Gold 200.

2. i guesstimated the exposure based on the previous experiment.

3. i developed it using the recycle caffenol from earlier batch but added 4 minutes to become 24 minutes.

4. unfortunately i made a mistake by pouring and for good 30 second when i realised that it was a fix rather than a stop which the stop bath mix was in the fridge for cooling. 

5. on the good side that i know the placement of pin-hole to the external of the front plate had the images captured within the whole frame rather than formed a circle within the frame as before.

6. the roll was partially cut and developed.


6. few samples that i managed to salvaged from that 'early fix under-exposure' development..

..trees..


   
..pebbles..


7. even then it was a guess on the negatives' slack that it could be either from under-exposure metering in the first place (most unlikely looking at the similar outcomes at perforated edge which was consistence with the rest the negative)or not enough development time because of recycle mix due to weaker mix or that mistake of 'early' fixing OR may be because of the negative itself which is from a colour film rather than a true B&W film. 

8. will take few more shoots from the balance of the film sometime tomorrow.
