For photos and show notes: allthroughalens.com
On this episode of Dev Party Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) try out some new old ideas! But first, Vania developed a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 220 in C-41 - that's right, 220! And it looks amazing! Eric fell back on the old standby of Fomapan 100 in FA-1027 - in 4x5, of course. He had a bad hike and it shows.
We also answered a few questions about developing, film, and the age old battle of cak...

Meanwhile, Vania shot some Portra 160, also through the Mamiya RB67. Vania lets slip her complete lack of memory when it comes to 90s game shows.

Both are ascorbic acid developers, and while Kodak claims that Xtol is good for “fine grain and high sharpness,” Foma claims that Exel is great for “fine grain and excellent sharpness”! The drama!
The real story here is the camera Vania used to shoot Tmax 400: The Maco! A plastic 1950s underwater camera that was more than a bit leaky. Seriously, she pre-washed her film in the ocean.

All Through a Lens: A Podcast About Film PhotographyDev Party #2: It's My Dev Party and I'll Cry If I Want ToWe’re back for our second Dev Party and it’s a bit of bittersweet drama. We’ll get to that in a sec, but first, let’s talk about what we were developing.
Eric took on Tasma Mikrat 200 in Rodinal – yes it’s another test. And Vania is developing the same in HC-110. How does it all turn out? Let’s find out.
While we work, we talk about stop baths! Do you need them? What’s an acid stop? How about an indicator stop? Is water okay? It’s exciting, we promise.
At the end, we a...

All Through a Lens: A Podcast About Film PhotographyDev Party #1: What's a Dev Party?While we take some holiday time off, we thought it would be fun (?) to try out a new idea. We've been kicking around the idea of mini-episodes for some time now, and here's our first attempt.
Basically we (Vania and Eric) each develop a couple of rolls of film. She does color, he does black & white. We talk a little about our own process and maybe you'd find this interesting. Who knows? This includes the emulsion that we're testing for a possible rebranding. What is it? Does it work? What's the what? Listen and find out!

All Through a Lens: A Podcast About Film PhotographyEpisode 06: I Can't Say FailureVania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) get a bit chatty talking about a catastrophic failure and surf photography.

After a bit of chit-chat, Vania (@surfmartian) and Eric (@conspiracy.of.cartographers) dig into a pretty major failure concerning Eric’s Nez Perce Trail large format project. The project took him through four states and nearly 2,000 miles. And after 80 shots, almost all of them were badly damaged. But why...
