I just finished a roll of HP4 Plus, but the type 517 cine film. Loved it.
Used Rodinal but recently bought some Legacy Pro L110 for the next time.

True, @sacco.ciarpa.me . Variated from whitish -gray-to nearly black across intermittent frames.
I'm going to put new light seals in first.

This last roll of HP4 type 517 came out with some images that I can't figure out what I must have done wrong - unexposed vertical blobs( appear sold white on positives ) on some frames like the roll was touching in the Patterson tank .Rodinal 1+25 @125ISO 16 minutes -68 degrees .
Any advise ? 🎞️

What appears as a still image is actually a moment in an interoperative dance routine . Black and white image with tinting adds to the mood that the natural color cannot provide. No Photoshop.

Senior teen girls in a dance routine with stage lighting ;slow shutter implies motion. Color grading evens out the pleasing appearance . No Photoshopping.
