Adox CMS 20 Miraculous Film Developed in Caffenol LC+C

Yesterday I was shooting in downtown Golden(again) and was standing at the intersection of 10th and Washington.  This building has intrigued me.  I would like to live there and have a Gallery on the first floor.  Why not.  It is perfect just look.  The image is a 1 min exposure using a variable intensity neutral density filter.  It was set at about 8 stops, that's why the  1 minute exposure.  This is Adox CMS twenty film and I was shooting at ASA 12, so it doesn't take much to slow things down.  Notice the highlight squiggly things infront of the door to the building.  Those are left over from cars passing through the camera's field of vision while the shutter was opened.  Neutral Density(ND) filters are neat as they allow you to capture images in busy locations without too much worry about cars and gawkers finding their way into your pictures.  Unless of course you want gawkers in your pictures.  Sometimes thats cool.

Yesterday I was out to test some different, for me, practices utilizing Adox CMS 20.  It is my most beloved of all films, and now that I have overcome the expense of developing in Adotech II developer, ( through the usage of Caffenol )I am truly happy.  Like a witch in a broom factory Jimmy!  The Pedestrian Bridge image was taken while I was waiting for the fog and cloud cover to clear over Lookout Mountain in the background.  The clouds did not clear while I was waiting.  The image developed very flat.  I had to "GIMPit"considerably to make it look reasonably presentable.  I did a little extra experimentation with textures in GIMP to arrive at what is seen here.  I hope it isn't too excessive.  I am going to send a jpg out to print at 20 x 30 on a nice matte paper to see how it looks printed I think it will be pretty cool.
