Along the main street in Parker City, Indiana. Taken with Kodak C-41 process black and white film and developed at the local "big box" store. Good news is that the film is processed within an hour. Bad news is it comes back with dust/dirt/fingerprints. If this is to be the "fast film", then I must develop it.
Fretlow Block building in Winchester courthouse square. The building is interesting for its detailed roof line. Technically the image is interesting for the film used. This was Kodak B&W C-41 (color process) film. Still trying to find a higher speed B&W film. Have another combination to try. All I need is for the sun to return to Indiana.
Old schoolhouse converted into a barn. Same subject and location as an early post. This wide angle image is allows the setting as well as the structure to be shown.
A view of the entrance of the new Wayne County Correction Center in Richmond, Indiana. Once again, black and white film image. Let me know how you feel about black and white photographs vs. Color photographs. I prefer black and white but am open to hearing what you respond to.
An old schoolhouse that has been made into a barn. Technical notes: Ilford film and developer. Quality, for me, not up to the previous images using Fuji film and Kodak developer. Will give the Ilford combination a bit more investigation to be sure.
St. Mary Church in Richmond, Indiana. Taken with the new 75mm lens using Fuji film and Kodak developer. Maybe tomorrow, if the sun returns to Indiana, I will be able to test the one remaining film/developer combination.
