1 A butterfly that actually held still for long enough

2 Different butterfly, a tad to much contrast and underdeveloped

3 Yes! I finally did a weekly photo assignment

What film speed is this? These are have such a grainy effect, which is extremely effective in some of them. Almost surreal. :thumbup:

Standouts for me are #s 12, 13 and 17, with 17 being exceptionally cool-looking. Great shot.

5, 13 and 16 for me. 12 too
glad to see darkroom work being posted here.

Terri: Only 400, and most of the shots are underdeveloped, the ones that aren't have more grain. But the effect works in some places and a $2 for a 36exp role, I'm not complaining

JonK: Yeah, it's a pain to post darkroom stuff some of the time, but its worth it

Thanks for all the comments so far!

some of them dont do much for me at all, but the ones that do REALLY do. the wheel was nicely developed, the cat is well shot and developed (woo!), but my absoluted favorite is the cups. i love it. i cant wait to get in the darkroom of my class and start developing.
