Used Ilford Ilfosol S developer, Ilford Ilfostop, and Ilford Rapid Fixer. Let me know what you think. These were Ilford FP4 ISO 125, developed in 1:9 Ilfosol at 4:30 agitated 10 seconds every minute. I think I scratched them up a bit squeegeeing with my finger. I'll have to get a wetting agent.
I think I agitated them too much and made them too contrasty (no photoshop adjustment whatsoever). I also think I underdeveloped them. This is my very first development ever, whether at home or in a darkroom. I didn't do a test roll (like an idiot ), but this roll was expendable. I think it turned out alright, but not as well as I had hoped. I think the roll that's drying right now is better.
Oh, and these were all shot with my Pentax Spotmatic w/ the Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4. Some of the outside shots had a circular polarizer, but there was too much cloud cover for it to have helped the skies like I had hoped. These are the ones that turned out alright. The others were either underexposed or underdeveloped (I think the latter).
