Promised pictures

Hi, here you have the promised pictures from the first film I developed myself. Need to solve the problem with water.

Ilford HP5+ developed in Ilfosol 3, 6.5 min.

First analog film and print developed

Finally I managed to develop my own film and also to make prints. I need to thank to a friend who had found time on me. The theoretical part was longer mastered through texts and youtube but it is still better to be there with somebody with practice.

Despite the negative is not perfect and the prints were just exercises, it was a great experience. The darkroom was not completely dark, there were light leaks I was afraid of. The developer tank was also leaking when turning. We had only tap water to work with. The enlarger timer just short circuited :) First we tried to enlarge on the wrong side of the paper, without success. :) Quite a thrill. I dropped the negative into the positive developer while enlarging :( Ah.

The only thing that bothers me are the water marks on the negative because of tap water. That needs to be made better next time. As I have everything to develop my own negatives plus some real experience, next time I'm going to do it myself. No more waiting 10 days to be developed by whoever for lot of money. That money will be spent on more negative :)

Today will scan the film and post some pics on my vivo page and probably few even here. Keep watching, bye. :)

Annoying password policy - solution

Hi, for sure you have faced the welcome message of expired password. Then you thought you will change it quickly and continue. But, it needs uppercase, lowercase, numbers, signs, squirrel sounds as Dilbert said, zero is not allowed not to be missed by o and other specialties...

This happened to me last time and it made me quite angry. Finally when you have a new password, safety is still worthless because you are unable to remember your password and you write it down on your desk. Oups.

Keeping the same password is not allowed, you need to find out how many last passwords are remembered, change your password as many times and finally use your last one. It will take more time, but you can keep your old password. Is it right to do this? Hm, maybe not, but is it right to writing it down?

First post in 2011

Hi, happy new year or like that. Just a pic to keep posting. I had to work between holidays and also this week. Days are short, hard to find time for shooting. I pass everyday by a frozen lake, where kids are playing hockey or just skating, the days are foggy, the view is beautiful, the possibilities are endless and i need to go to work :(
Tomorrow or who knows when next, cause after then school holidays are over, weather could warm up, I need to be there.

The picture I made walking to the lake at my parent's home, did some postprocess. Enjoy.
