ID-3 again

[Jim Salt]

Back in October 2013 I mentioned a developer, ID-3, which I have
liked over the years, and since I found sources for raw chemicals I
have been using this extensively for almost a year now. If anyone is
interested in trying it, I can provide the recipe. It is mixed in
concentrate and then diluted 1_3 for use. Here are the developing
times for various films including some old Efke IR820 that I have in
the freezer. The times differ for continuous and intermittent
agitation, and this table is a guide only, you have to adjust times
to suit your use - for example, scanning negatives need to be a bit
"healthier" than enlarged ones:

Film Dilution ISO Agitation
10/60 Constant

HP5 1+3 400 12.0 11.0
FP4 1+3 125 11.0 10.5
100Delta 1+3 100 11.5 11.0
400Delta 1+3 400 12.0 11.0
Efke 820IR 1+3 0.75 12.0 11.5 using 72 IR filter on lens

Here are a couple of samples:

Is the second image of the Chemainus river estuary (Swallowfield)? 

Nice to see some home chemistry in action.

No Walter, it's a stream channel coming into the Cowichan estuary. It's looking south toward Cowichan Bay, from Khenipsen Road. However I do have an IR of that Chemainus R. estuary, I think. I'll post a small version if I can find it. I didn't know about the name Swallowfield.

I hope you're doing something photographic as well as work and all the home chores that seem to eat up the days?

Oh, swallowfield is just a road you can access it from, so I sort of use the nickname when referring to it.

Been busy with work and baby, doing some sailing, not much serious photography.  I chased mushrooms around last fall, though - that was pretty rewarding.
