After an unexpected stretch of winter weather my darkroom water supply froze solid. Since I wasn't able to finish the Mount Carmel Monastery episode I decided to so some shooting with the recently modified Holga 120 Pan panoramic camera (Olga) and 21-Orange black and white filter. The entire camera modification video is here    • "Super Holga" HOLGA 120 Pan Panoramic...  

Holga 120Pan 6x12 cameras are available for around $100.

I used a 21 Orange filter to help balance the exposure so it would be possible to shoot in the bright midday sunlight. Moreover, I wanted to test the newly modified filter/hood system. There will be a full episode covering the use of all the modifications made to the Holga 120 Pan in a future production.

All photographs shown in th episode were produced on Ilford FP4 125 Plus medium format film and developed in my modified "FP4 Poison" caffenol black and white developer. Speaking of that...

NOTES:
Two rolls of Ilford HP5 Plus 400 were also exposed. Unfortunately, as shown at 05:30 in the episode, both rolls turned out to be completely blank. No trace of exposure, not even any frame signing. Essentially, the only possible reason for this is if a film receives ZERO development. Commonly this occurs when the film chemistry is either non-operational or used in reverse order. An example would be using fixer prior to developer. As I mix my own developer on a per-batch basis, I am certain there was no mixup. Neither do I believe there was an issue with my ingredients as the proceeding rolls developed as expected. At this point, I am at a loss as to why the two rolls of HP5 developed blank along with (as is obvious) the "pinkish" color of the film base. The base coloration immediately caused me to think I had confused the black and white film with color C-41 process but this turned out to not be the case.
