Night Photography with Washi F Film & Olympus OM-1

Photographing with this unique fluorographic black & white film originally used for lung x-rays in Eastern Europe. Washi Film "F" is a special X-ray film used for mass lung disease diagnose. Being coated without anti-halation layer, this unique film offers a high diffusion effect and beautiful grain.

Film Noir seemed like the perfect vehicle to showcase this film and how night images from Washi F are pure magic.
All the still images were taken on the same night with the Olympus OM-1 35mm film camera. All were taken handheld with a 1/15 shutter speed, aperture varied from f1.8 to f2.8. The film was developed in FPP-110 developer for 8 minutes with 10 sec agitation every two minutes. The slower agitation schedule was to help preserve detail in the highlights.
