Some really nice images! My back doesn't like getting down on my belly, but I can use my TLR to get those low angles a little easier. Not familiar with that film, will have to look into it, if it's available in North America. Cheers!

I don't fancy myself laying on the ground, whether because I'm out of shape or because I dislike getting dirty. I bought a 90° extension scope finder thing for 35mm that makes low or awkward shots far easier. Been using it on digital since I don't have an articulating screen.

I do a lot of scorpion macro photography and my favorite way of getting low to the ground without having to lay prostrate is to get on my knees, fold down low to where my abdomen is resting on my knee tops, and then position my head low to the ground and tilted sideways to see into the viewfinder. It's the only way I can do it without my belly getting stabbed by cactus thorns and other spikey bits in the sand.

Having tried numerous paper developers, I can say that the Adotol Konstant is the best in my opinion. Gorgeous tones, deep, rich, cool blacks and just keeps forever, unlike Foma developers whic oxidize rather quickly after diluting.

You mean before they go under the enlarger? I have a rocket blower and slide it under the enlarger carefully. Sometimes I have the enlarger light on soni can see the negative as it slides in. With the light you can see any bits on the neg. But like us all I get the dust fall on the neg sometimes.
