In the first image is a roll of Fuji C-41 film that I developed in Caffenol for 18 minutes.
They appear blank, but there are images on them as shown in this image. (They came out as b/w negatives)
I am wondering what properly developed negatives look like, as I cannot see the pictures well unless I hold them up to a strong light, and if I underdeveloped or overdeveloped them.
Answer
I develop C41 with caffenol quite often. Your negative looks typical. What is your caffenol recipe? Depending on the recipe, 18 mins may be too long.
Updating answer from comment:
I'm sure you have checked out the Caffenol Cookbook. Assuming you are mixing them with 1L of water, the recipe you use is similar to CCM(rs). See "Caffenol - Volumetric" by Woll & Caradies in the Cookbook. 18 mins is too long. I would try 11-12 mins.
