• 1450: Northern Plains Botanic Garden, Fargo; >Drekker Brewing; Wild Terra Cider; MN State Hwy 210; east of Fergus Falls. (3 May 2024. Film Photography Project Wolfman @ EI 100 in Minolta XE-7.) (on top.)

Loaded into the 1L tank inside daylight changing bag. Pre-soaked film for ~5 minutes. During the pre-soak, mixed 10mL Rodinal (5mL/roll) in distilled water to 1L. Poured developer in; did not top off, as the water line is well above the top of the reels. Agitated 40x over the first minute, then 5x more at 20:00 and 40:00. Cooled chemicals in picnic-cooler ice bath, then kept tanks in ice bath, to keep temperature at 68 degrees; it’s summer and even the basement is hot. All agitations are half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).

Made a new batch of Arista Odorless (yeah, right) Fixer. After 60:00, disposed of developer, rinsed in ~72 degree tap water. Fixed in Arista fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 2 rolls from this batch of fixer), inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Reclaimed fixer and rinsed for ten minutes in tap water, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank with distilled water and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
