Large Format Photography On X-Ray Film [ Second Attemp ]

Large format photography on x-ray film, my second attemp.
This is my second try of shooting xray film in my largeformat camera.
I rated the films at ISO 100 and develped it in adox FX-39 II for 8 minutes. This time the results turned out way better. I hope you like it. If so please consider subscribing. :-)

Good objects for x-ray film. Excelent photographs. I take some shots on x-ray and see it is perfect for industrial objects on my opinion.

You are getting very nice, contrasty images. Keep them coming.

Thanks 👍

Do you mind sharing what type or brand of X-ray film did you use? Did you develop it using tank inversions or rotary processor?

[@RetroPixel_analog]

hi, so it was either Fuji X-ray film (UM-MA) or CEA. I developed using a rotary processor.

[@michelguinard4960]

on which portion of the subject do you mesure the light , which correction if any ?

[@RetroPixel_analog]

Hi, i did not use any correction. In terms of X-Ray film i worked a bit experimental. Usually i would measure three different spots, Highlights, shadows, mid tones and then (by knowing the film i shoot with) i would try to find a good average so i do not loose any detail. I personally prefer Flat negatives, since i control the contrast later in the darkroom. But since i did not really know the film it was more of a trial and error. I used the same method but from what i read online i knew that the results will always be very contrasty. Also X-Ray film has not the widest dynamic range so be careful with Highlights and shadows.
