Thinking about lost films, I decided to post some Reala 100 film shots from past days.
Reala is great. I love the colors I get from it. Nice and saturated but still natural looking. I started shooting film right as it was discontinued but I was able to pick up a box to keep in the freezer.

This is a trip! What are we looking at? How was this achieved?
It was at a gallery in Venice Beach, a device they called "The Infinity Box". Basically a box filled with angled mirrors that you look into and see reflections of yourself into infinity. What's cool is that it has two ends so you can look in at the other person, and if you happen to have a Minolta Sr1s with Rokkor MC 35mm f 2.8 (no other camera/lens combo would work in The Infinity Box... ) you can take a snap.

Thanks. The rock was limestone so it was essentially white hence the hot Maybe some more toning down though may work.
If that's basically white limestone maintaining separation in the highlights can be tricky. Got a cool IR vibe going on, though.
Speaking of highlight separation, ever try Pyro? I haven't, largely because of toxicity/disposal issues. I know Pyromaniacs just love the stuff. I've seen some fantastic prints from Pyro, but I suspect master printers can get fantastic results from anything so I'm not entirely convinced.

I have heard to many links between pyro and Parkinson's disease. Don't see me ever trying it.
Ah, yes. The old ' pyro caused Weston's Parkinson's'. In liquid form pyro isn't more dangerous than other developers like Rodinal. You should ware nitril gloves any time you have contact with chemicals. Pyro is a tool, and like any other, it should be safely. Weston spent over 60 years putting his hands directly into photo chemicals. We don't know if this contributed to his disease or not. Others who have Parkinson's have never come into contact with any photo chemicals.
Jon, really like those limestone shots. Sometimes, well "white is white"
Have about 30 images, LF & MF out to the lab from a Yosemite trip past weekend.
Shot some Ilford Pan F too
Maybe some more toning down though may work.
