Bad Teaser

Bad Teaser - Leica MP, 50mm Summicron, Kodak Tri-X in D76 1:1

I have developed 4 rolls of film so far. All Tri-X in D76 1:1. The image above is the first frame from the first roll.

As you can see the tonality of the image is rather uneven. It could be either due to my agitation technique or the fact that the lighting was too harsh for ISO 400.

Imperfections that i have grew to like and learned to accept.

BattambAng or BattambOng

Spelled as BattambAng everywhere but pronounced as BattambOng by the locals. Arrived here after a 4hr journey by bus. A rather scenic drive across countryside with paddy fields stretching as far as the eye can see.

Looking back, I enjoyed Siem Reap a lot. Could easily stay a few extra days and chill. Those who have been to Khao San Road, Bangkok, it is a bit like that but much nicer with a better vibe and atmosphere.

The temples were magnificent. Here is a picture taken in Beng Mealea.

The Sampot

The Sampot is what Cambodians use to wear once upon a time long long ago. The image below is a carving showing both the front and back views.

Went to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom today. The highlight was definitely Bayon.

First Roll !!!

Developed my first roll of film last night!! How exciting!!
TriX ISO400 in Rodinal 1:50 for 13 minutes. Temp 22 degrees.
Agitated for first 30s then 10s every minute.
Ilford Rapid Fixer for 3mins then Kodak PhotoFlo. 

On a more somber note, the week did not end as well as i hoped it would. Very disappointed.
At least the film developing took my minds off things for a moment :(

Anyways, these are frames 3, 4, 5 and 21
