The Crooked Spire, shot on Tri-X that expired in 1986, developed in Rodinal 1+25 at 20deg for 7 minutes, Zorki 4 with 50F2 Jupeter 8

Pretty cool but there is something odd about it.

Odd about what ? the spire is twisted and about 3 feet off center

Your right that is more like weird :mrgreen: Not odd at all.

That's kinda weird in a Harry Potter sort of way. Just eccentric, literally and figuratively. Thanks for sharing. The branch obscuring the steeple makes you doubt what you are seeing a bit. I like the grain in the sky, gives the whole thing an older feel.

There are a few theories about how it twisted, one is the timber was to green, another is it was built by appentises because most of the older carpenters were kill by the great plague of 1665, the twist and lean have now been stabilised by running a large timber the full height like a spine

I like the twist, architects should look more into this technique!

Cheers, but its more about the film being so far out of date and still being able the get reasonable results from it, got about another 30 expired rolls to play with
