But what if I could change my mind on just one? Would it give me another tool in the kit to use to get a specific look? Could I shoot four rolls of a film stock and come to like it, even go as far as recommending it? Challenge Accepted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexluyckx.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DIfJ5BTVAAAvfsB-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3521\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That film isn&#8217;t Delta 400, <del datetime=\"2017-10-10T12:03:59+00:00\">I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever grow to like the stock<\/del> actually I just developed Delta 400 in Kodak D-23 and it turns out it&#8217;s not a bad film stock either, but I feel HP5+ can be one that I just might be able to. So I&#8217;ll give it a shot, get five rolls of the stock, load it up into trusted cameras, visit suitable locations, and then pick developers I&#8217;ve never used with 35mm HP5+ and go to town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roll One: SPUR HRX<\/strong><br \/>\nI got the idea of using SPUR HRX after looking on Flickr after Tony posted a question on the Toronto Film Shooters Group. Tony had asked for developer recommendations for HP5+ and Mike suggested SPUR HRX. To be fair in this case, I also pushed the film a little bit more than an average day of shooting. I shot the roll indoors in a sort of abandoned, or rather closed campus of Sheridan College. I figured, if I&#8217;m going to learn to like the film, I might as well take it into a familiar situation for me. <\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37199569701\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Registrar\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4348\/37199569701_bb4cb9b53a_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" alt=\"Registrar\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Nikon F5 &#8211; AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G &#8211; Ilford HP5+ @ ASA-400 &#8211; SPUR HRX (1+17) 11:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37199567221\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Bravo Six\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4373\/37199567221_a106bc64e6_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Bravo Six\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Nikon F5 &#8211; AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G &#8211; Ilford HP5+ @ ASA-400 &#8211; SPUR HRX (1+17) 11:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/36945343460\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"Leftovers\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4413\/36945343460_9f8b8ab4d0_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" alt=\"Leftovers\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Nikon F5 &#8211; AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G &#8211; Ilford HP5+ @ ASA-400 &#8211; SPUR HRX (1+17) 11:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37342814175\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" title=\"The Moody Darkness\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4360\/37342814175_e944f11810_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" alt=\"The Moody Darkness\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Nikon F5 &#8211; AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G &#8211; Ilford HP5+ @ ASA-400 &#8211; SPUR HRX (1+17) 11:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>The results they speak for themselves, the images are dark, moody, and the contrast is rich.
