I'm on a mission

OK well I was a bit cross (wild underestimation) last week. You see I was reading my MENSA magazine when lo and behold this silly little man (i'm sure he's ok really) got Liecenship of the Royal Photographic society with some 'average' digital pictures.

Now I already have LRPS but that isnt the point. The fact that he got it for some shitty piccys completely pissed me off. So i'm now applying for Associate of the RPS. This meant going to Chatsworth yesterday in the blistering heat (I now have blisters) and doing some good 'ole B+W piccys.

I have developed 2 of the6 films and it looks promising. There is a picture of Chatsworth earlier and i'm doing the same process. The chemicals I mixed to make the pictures are illegal in Denmark cos they are so toxic and I stupidly managed to pour some into an open wound....it hurt...................alot!

The end result should be ~5 A3 sized Bromoils which has not really been done by too many people do to the trickey-ness of them.

I was actually thinking of developing my own process and having a shot at Fellow of the RPS, but I have an idea and a lab full of chemicals so maybe it isnt impossible. I'll let you know.
