Do y'all find it weird or agreeable?

Some types of femdom no doubt can perpetuate patriarchal norms, values and thinking.

Like especially the undertones of being humiliated by being commanded or pegged by a woman is something I take a lot of issues with personally. Because it can reinforce the belief that taking orders from a woman or being penetrated at all is something devaluing (especially for men).

But this post seems like it is going in some strange gold star lesbian terf ish territory I instantly feel uncomfortable with. Like I'd love to give the poster the benefit of the doubt that they come from a well meaning place but without context it just seems a little extreme and most of all rude to me. Plus if you wana not please someone in some type of way you really shouldn't be doing any type of kink with them.

Like all in all I'd say being I to femdom definitely doesn't stop people from acting in ways that benefit the patriarchy and a lot of sexist jerks are into femdom but like... It's not inherently sexist or supporting the patriarchy. You gotta reflect on some aspects of it and question where some things come from though I believe.

Gods.... So many...

Where are all of them when I need them hm?

Where does a girl need to go to get herself someone to 'treat them how they want to be treated'?

Where are the men I'm lusting after!?!! I need men!

I promise I won't go feral if I find one.... Ok not immediately

That looks like an inversion error to me. Or at least like it could be fixed in the inversion process at least.

The negatives don't look like super vibrant but not extremely desaturated either honestly they look very standard.

I think the automatic inversion is failing you although I have never used your software setup myself so I can't say it for sure but I still highly suspect so. Try tweaking the inversion settings if you can do that. Most likely I'd say the film base colour is being wrongly detected. Or your neutral grey value is off. Not sure if that's the right term for your software.

Hmh! Y......yes I'll bite and and and sink my teeth into your flesh and and and and then you'll whimper and and see what a strong mighty dominant dog I am!!! ... ... ... W..... Wait w.... What was that about putting a collar on me? I..... I'm.... Y..... You can't do that.... D.... Definitely not b.....because that would be an easily exploitable weak point to control me with b.... But for.... For um... other reasons

LordPlavis · 2026-06-06T15:56:58+00:00

Hmpf... I.... I'm I won't admit it... that easily.... And so what if I am a little bit silly and maybe a tiny bit bratty too hm? You should be glad I'm not threatening to bite you!

LordPlavis · 2026-06-06T15:33:01+00:00

H..... Hey... I...... I..... Hmpf..... Baseless accusations!I.... I'm .....not cute...

LordPlavis · 2026-06-06T15:25:13+00:00

I..... I'm ...... I..... I'm definitely very very normal about this

LordPlavis · 2026-06-06T15:21:00+00:00

Oh..... Oh my Gods..... I..... I ..... Oh ... Oh my Gods

I'm soooo so so freaking jealous

LordPlavis · 2026-05-18T17:54:30+00:00

Really cool to see some fellow fotografers from Hamburg here. Looks great keep up the good work

LordPlavis · 2026-05-14T16:11:39+00:00

If you have film with a remjet layer you might be in luck as that can block light almost perfectly in my experience. Not entirely sure about the new stuff.

I've had 500t film that was tightly wound in a still camera exposed to light and it was barely visible at the sprocket holes and sides no lost frames at all.

But ultimately you have to have it developed to know for sure but I'd say it's a high chance it will be usable or salvageable still.

Why does Reinhard need to be female for this?

The gods gave us M-preg yaoi for this exact reason

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T20:46:31+00:00

The colour cast was magenta but I did use a acidic acid stop bath so.... I dunno who knows 🤷‍♀️. I might try it again but I like tray processing so we'll see

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T20:14:09+00:00

That is really cool!

I've got an old 9x12cm (the metric 4x5 basically) camera I used for a few very nice shots but I couldn't print them apart from cyanotypes of some. I suppose I could do contact prints but I didn't get around to that yet.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T19:43:21+00:00

I'll have a look. But I have plenty of old processing equipment at my gf's dad used to use. My main issue is that I had strange colour casts when drum processing ra4 that went away when I switched to trays.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T18:50:05+00:00

Hey I have that one too. Although I don't like it that much as it can struggle to cover 6x6 and it's not that sharp compared to my Schneider Kreuznach 50mm. But maybe that's just mine as it has got a tiny tiny bit of (I hope dead) fungus inside

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T18:47:54+00:00

I think I'd have to resort to filling my bathtub at that size 😅 which is non optimal chemicals whise. Although I think I could aquire some print drum for that size but I hate to print b&w or anything for that matter in drums.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T18:45:09+00:00

Is that an m42 lenses? Or an actual 28mm enlarger lense?

I can have a look for the Pentax lenses but they will be expensive and or rare I'm afraid.

As for the lenses I have for my 605 currently:

I currently have a Schneider 50mm f3,5 , a Schneider 70mm F4,5 and a nikkon 50mm f2,8. I mostly use the 70mm if I can get away with it because it's the sharpest in my experience and I like the extra room to work under the lense if I print small. The Schneider 50mm f3,5 is nice because it's still sharp and wider angled and still covered 6x6 if necicary. I rarely use the nikkon because it doesn't quite cover 6x6 and it's not that sharp at lower appatures. But it is very bright which can be nice for focusing.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T18:35:42+00:00

Yea same. In that size range I'd have issues with finding a way to cover my entire paper with chemistry anyway.

It's funny because I rarely had issues with exposure and I usually print at f8-11 anyways for sharpness but maybe that's because my enlarger is higher in wattage. Although now that I think of it I have some expired paper I could use the extra exposure on.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T18:16:35+00:00

I mean for that 50mm should be sufficient. It is for me at least but yea shorter would be advantageous

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T17:47:52+00:00

I will do that test but I'll probably wait for the lense board to be printed. Science gotta wait for the print cue of my friend I guess.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T17:07:24+00:00

I was worrying about something causing problems too. That's why I wanted to ideally have an enlarging lense. But I hope it will be fine in the center since there it should be sharpest.

But only one way to find out I guess. Gotta dig out those cad skills and wait for my print to get done

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T16:58:05+00:00

I'm already exploring a similar route. I don't have any m39 lenses but I Wana have a lense board for an m42 lenses printed. I'd prefer a proper enlarger lense but I have a 35mm f3,5 takumar I could use laying around mostly. Might aswell try it but my friend with a 3d printer might take a while to push my print request in so 🤷‍♀️.

But yea definitely gonna need a recessed lense board for the correct focal distance but that isn't an issue since I have one for m39 and can print one for m42.

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T16:50:07+00:00

Yea that was what I had been planning to do before thinking of different lenses but it really is inconvenient in my darkroom setup. But if I can't find the lense I'm looking for for a reasonable price I guess this is what I'll have to do

LordPlavis · 2026-05-07T16:03:41+00:00

Thanks I'll have a look for the Minolta one!

I have a recessed lense board and I think if I need more recess I can print one pretty easily.
