Here is that bottle. Most of the darkness is just the film base left in there. It's not yet bubbling or anything, but I am quite scared of it....

Had an afternoon off yesterday so went and took some shots of wind turbines.
Having now developed them, it looks like I've almost completely fixed the light leaks! (There's like, 2 subtle ones across the rolls rather than a solid line every 2nd frame)

In exciting news, the film scanning backlog continues to fall.
All previously scanned stuff now re-scanned at better resolution.
Now working through the stuff that's never been in the scanner.
Currently on sleeve number 117, 30ish to go...

Evidence:
(Not all 2913 are negs, some are also text files with info about the film and dev. Not enough of those, to be honest...)
I used to own a 1.6 GB HDD and thought that would basically last me forever...

Big question, has the new light proofing stopped the light leaks??
Answer: No.
It's a lot better (there's a couple per roll rather than every couple of frames), but it's still there.
Bugger.
Also, last T-max for a long while.

Rollei IR sheet film from yesterday, still wet from the final wash (trying distilled water!).
Metered @ 6, hc-110 (1:31) for 8'30"
(No processing marks from the stearman tank on THIS one. Not so much on others).

Finally managed to develop some film again!
Big old aircraft on the most overcast day of the year.
@ilfordphoto.com FP4+ dunked in a 1:31 ratio of HC110.
And no light leaks!
HAS HE FIXED THE MINOLTA???
