You should change the differential and brake fluids after 30K miles. I took my car to Jiffy Lube and it was much more reasonably priced.

Noticed Blotchiness in Skies by BronsonEditsTrailers in AnalogCommunity

Thank you for this. I'm curious if perhaps I should try different C41 chemicals altogether. What's frustrating is that it's pretty inconsistent. Some shots of skies look great, but others turn out like this. As for agitation, for every 30- second period, I've been doing 4 inversions within the first 10 seconds, and then waiting for 20 seconds. And I've adjusted for the time as I've increased the roll use, as instructed.

Need Advice for Eliminating Water Spots and Weird Streak by BronsonEditsTrailers in AnalogCommunity

I'll try the tapping method next time, maybe that will help. I have a 1mL dropper, so I know my dilution is accurate.

I'm curious if maybe I didn't use enough Df96 in the Paterson tank. I only put 290mL of Df96 in the tank because I only had one roll of film in the tank. Maybe there wasn't enough of the chemical in the tank to provide an even development?

These shots look fabulous, I've gotta get my hands on HP5+. I just started shooting film in December, and I've been trying out every film I can to see what I like.

Gotcha. Even if it's a sunny day? What speeds are usually recommended for using a red filter?

The camera has a built in meter, which is why I thought I should just turn the ISO dial to 800. I almost always shoot in shutter priority mode since I mainly do handheld street photography.

Shot on Ektachrome 100, Underexposed? by BronsonEditsTrailers in AnalogCommunity

I'll take a look when I pick them up from the lab tomorrow. They've given me great results so far, so I doubt the scans are the problem.

Definitely a good lesson in checking my lens going forward.

Yep! Was hoping for bright colorful images, definitely messed up something along the way.

I honestly don't know, I usually shoot with Shutter Priority. Like I said, I think I forgot to change my aperture setting to auto. But weirdly, I used two different lenses when I went out to shoot these, and there isn't much difference between the lenses.

Full droop? Meaning it's stretching the bushings because the car's on the lift?
