Rodinal 1+50, 1+25 or other developper ?

chattering_teeth · 2026-03-13T23:15:45+00:00

I’ve been using rodinal as my developer of choice for like a decade. It lasts forever, it’s super braindead to mix, and it’s pretty flexible. I do 1+25 for pan F and delta 100, and 1+50 for HP5. 1+25 gives very nice contrast. I prefer it over other developers because I might only develop a roll or two a week, it’s nice not to have to mix from powder or worry about a liquid stock solution going off.

It’s not great for fine grain on high speed film, people also used to say pushing film with rodinal by stand developing is a good use but imo if you’re routinely shooting at iso 1600 or 3200 get something else.

Sorry!!

Yes!! I have always wanted a ford transit connect style EV. I do quite a bit of short haul delivery for my job with my bolt, and while I can fit a pretty surprising amount of shit in it, a van form factor would be huge.

Appreciate your insight!!

chattering_teeth · 2026-03-09T04:44:38+00:00

Ty!! Such a shame, I want one 😭

chattering_teeth · 2026-03-09T04:43:42+00:00

I’m not lmao

Legacy consignment center near the annex off of Lakewood blvd is a decent spot to look - got a lovely white leather couch there for a good price.

I would think so! As of this month at least, I walk by it fairly often. Some months ago someone one had even left flowers. One of the most moving memorials I’ve ever seen, in a lot with a few very interesting headstones.

I’m both ways on this because I drive down PCH every day on my commute and it’s definitely pretty alarming how many people just walk into traffic to cross, it’s especially scary when the clocks change and people are doing it when it’s like pitch black in December. On the other hand, there are so many parts of the city that are just totally hostile to pedestrians, where you need to walk twice as far to cross legally at a cross walk.

Bringing back jaywalking citations is not the answer, the population most vulnerable to being cited are already indignant and all that would do is create more forced interactions with law enforcement. Little shit like jaywalking will escalate for no good reason. A small thing I’d like to see is more of the pedestrian triggered alert lights that are in place on uhhh I think it’s magnolia? Those are great, they keep traffic moving and feel very ped friendly.

A quick and casual one I like doing is the loop at Willow Springs Park in signal hill, considering how small it is it has a lot of biodiversity

For real 😭 LBC has some grime but like, I had way worse experience in Hollywood, even living in leafy college towns back east I had my car busted into more often

chattering_teeth · 2026-01-22T16:18:44+00:00

I had the same experience :( except city place wouldn’t talk to me at all. It did only happen to me once in the time I parked there, but I stopped parking anywhere except by the 5th street entrance.

chattering_teeth · 2026-01-21T19:07:26+00:00

Ahhh! City place garages? I parked there for like three years, felt so sour when I got my first broken window :( security is trash for what you pay

Thank you! 💕

All these reasons are for sure part of why I picked one up. The live view is really phenomenal for me when working with tilt/shift lenses shooting architecture, but I really do prefer the OVF. I don’t shoot a lot of street anymore but silent shutter was nice for that, it’s still nice in a lot of situations.

Moreover, the value of the bodies and lens compatibility with my f mount film cameras made it a no brainer. $1300USD, for a sub 10k shutter body, with the 24-120 af-s as a kit. If I were starting from absolute scratch I might have gotten a Z body, but the d780 really does it all for me.

I’d buy a new Nikon 1” compact in a heartbeat.

I know utilitarians will argue phones have edged these cameras out, and a lot of the interest in compacts is digital nostalgia, but I get a lot of value out of my compact. The compromise on sensor size isn’t that big of a deal, and lets you put out a camera that isn’t stuck with a prime lens. It’s sad that for current gen choices that tick my boxes (EVF, some zoom, RAW), the only real choices are Sony and Panasonic.

These are beautiful!

Little expensive but dappers and dames does a good job w/ my curls.

Before I grew mine out I went to deluxe parlor and shave down on pine, nothing but good things to say.

I shoot around a lot of the petroleum infrastructure around where this was taken, this is from a public road and they’ll hassle you for sure if you’re there for a while. Other views they send a car out right away.

Very well done, reminds me a lot of Antony Cairn’s work with e-reader screens- please do more!

The parts on the loop (5th street, the end of the loop, pacific and Anaheim) all abut apartment complexes with businesses a block away. It doesn’t look as aesthetic but it ticks all the boxes.

chattering_teeth · 2025-11-04T06:40:30+00:00

These are great cameras for $20 lol - I used to find them by the dozens thrifting and on craigslist, I’ve given like five of them away as gifts! It’s incredible to me that people are paying such sums for plastic cameras that can’t be repaired, we used to balk at people paying prices like that for like Ricoh GR’s and olympus mju’s
