Subject: [pure-silver] On stand developing of Ilford PanF



Hi,

Recent discussions on stand developing inspired me to give some 35mm out-dated PanF a try. Got some interesting results as well a couple of failures. Rather than a lenghty discussion I put a little quick page on a few of my results together at:

Best,

I can't be sure about the effect seen on the radio station picture but its like a directional effect caused by reaction products sinking along the surface. Stand development really should be done with the film horrizontal. That should result in symmetrical effects. There is always the chance of uneven development of large dense areas with a lightening of the center parts due to build up of reaction products there (there is name for this but I've forgotten it). While stand development has been espoused by some well known photographers (William Mortensen for instance), and while some photographers seem to get good results with it, nonetheless it is generally considered bad practice.
