The most significant monument of genocide in Lithuania is the Ninth fort in Kaunas.
You can read about this here: The Ninth Fort | Travel Lithuania
and here: Ninth Fort - Wikipedia
ISTR reading about some photobook about those monuments in the past year or so.

Tri-X pushed to 800, shot with a Kiev IIa and Jupiter 8:





(Amazingly that first shot is 11:30 at night, the second was a little after midnight. St. Petersburg doesn’t get very dark in the summer!)

My last roll through this camera. I sold it off over the weekend as I have too many TLRs, and this one just wasn't getting used enough compared to my other Flexarets.

Fairly strongly cropped to improve composition.




Flexaret Standard.
Belar 80mm f3.5.
Kodak T-Max 100.

One of my 1958 Yashica 35s, with Ilford 400 C41. I had to remove colour from it as it is not pure BW. Only PP was with contrast.

Testing the 1958 Yashica 35 with 45/2.8 lens on Ilford 400 C41. The challenge of tones and resolution in a distant landscape. I see the grain as a limiting factor for detail.

I’m a little confused by this... Ilford XP-2 is a black and white film. It is also a C41 film, but as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t capture any color information.

Any color you get out of it comes from the scan.

In the olden days, we used to balance our color printer to sepia with XP-2 because it was so much easier than consistently getting a good neutral grey out of color paper... same idea...

But that was true for all B&W films... and each had a different color to its film base... TMAX printed greenish if it wasn’t properly fixed...

The chemistry involved is beyond my knowledge, but all the photos that were scanned by the shop had a serpia tinge. I assumed this was the nature of a film not pure B&W. As you said, it may be the scanner set for colour. I don't know.

Printing XP2 negs on traditionally developed black-and-white paper is guaranteed to get all of that sepia out of the images.

TwoUptons is correct; the scan should be done as greyscale, thus eliminating any colour cast. In my opinion the lab should have done that for you. However it is easy to do in software once you have the scanned images.

In my experience all the lab scans I have done come back as colour images, no matter what film. Just had a roll of Ilford Delta 100 and one of HP5+ returned to me, all the scans in colour (although well enough scanned that they look BW). What they are very poor at is setting a good black point and white point. Usually the histogram of the scan uses only 3/4 of the range of tones at best. Sadly, this seems to be true of every lab I try. If setting-up the Epson V750 wasn't such a pfaff (due to space restrictions), I'd scan everything myself.
