Caffenol: finally, a use for instant coffee!

Hardly believing it myself, it turns out that coffee can act as a film developer. This I had to try. Three different films (XP2 at 400, FP4+ at 125 and HP5+ at 400), all developed at the same time:
  • five minutes soaking in water
  • 16g Na2CO3 (anhydrous) added to water
  • add 10g Vitamin C
  • 1.5g KBr (anhydrous)
  • 40g Red Label instant coffee
  • make up to 1 litre of water
  • 1 minute of agitation
  • rest for 59 minutes (at 21°C)
  • wash, stop, wash, fix, wash

I shot a fair amount of this "straight out of camera" on my 7D using Reala, EtoC and ZERO custom picture styles. Lenses used were mostly the 135mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8, with my Sigma, and Jeff's 70-300mm and 18-135mm making an occasional appearance. Started to get "in the zone" with street photography. Great fun. And amazing architecture in York.

Jeff visited Manchester last night; picked up an IDE to USB adaptor; we went to the pub. Today Jeff sifted through old hard drives and dug out some old photos:
