Agfa APX100 + Rodinal Stand Development (1:100) 60min 20C

[ykc2011]

My photography has been in a slump lately, where I'd get flat negatives with little contrast or detail. I did some research online, read up about how to "see" in black and white, and set exposure for shadows etc. Here are some photos which I processed yesterday using this new workflow.

Negatives were stand developed in 1:100 Rodinal for 60mins, 20C. 5 gentle agitation at beginning. Sit for 60mins. Scanned using Epson v700 wtih Epsonscan software. Min post-processing except for levels.

The results look very nice, congratulations. Also I am a friend and fan of higher dilution and longer development times as well, I would be worried a bit about handling for such long times over 1 hour, as the gelatine layer swells too much, and the surface becomes very sensitive.
