Taylor Claiborne Photography: Caffenol-C-M Development part 1

Well this is a part of my caffenol development project, these were mainly the test rolls but the scans were pretty fun. Part of the film was shot at Matsuri, and the other part was shot when location scouting for my friend Mile's next assignment. He was also with me with the light painting entry and assisted with that. The caffenol development went a lot better than planned, I want to make some prints with this in the future but for now I should just clean up the negatives and get some better scans. This was using Caffenol-C-M, which essentially is developing with instant coffee. From what I have read it works wonderfully with slow grade films like anything under iso 100. This was 400 iso film and I can already notice the difference between normal development and developing this way. I would love to do this with some Pan-F 50. These scans remind me that I do need to get a new negative scanner.

I included my developing notes so you can kind of see the tought process I was going through to get the developer made and working. Hope you like the images!

So with out further adieu my development notes and my photos!
