Russian victory parade

The last few days have been a bit rough health-wise, so I haven’t been shooting any film at all. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a chance. And if not I’ll probably just finish the last shot on the roll of RPX400 in my Leica with a random picture. I also hope that I can put the finishing touch on my agitation machine prototype and test it with some Caffenol Delta Std. Since I haven’t used Delta Std before it will actually be two experiments in one go. Not a brilliant idea, but I don’t think Rodinal goes well with normal development and it’s the only commercial developer I have at home. Maybe I get lucky though. On the other hand, agitation during C41 development seems far less critical than for BW, so if it works for BW it should work fine for C41. And C41 development is the actual intended purpose for this little machine I’m building.

As for today’s pictures: Even around our neck of the woods there was a parade on this historic 70th anniversary. I have to say that I was quite surprised! The parade wasn’t very big, but enough for some quick pictures.

All pictures taken with: Leica M6 + Zeiss ZM C-Biogon 35mm f/2.8.
Double-X @400 stand-developed in cold Caffenol-CL.
