I'd like to make a wet print of this. One day. Personally, I couldn't want for anything more from a piece of film than this.

thompsonkirk Posted August 3, 2008 Share #9 Posted August 3, 2008 This such a wonderful image that it begs to have a beautiful full-toned print made of it! I know you want to make a wet-darkroom print from the negative. But playing with the scan in PS (as Steve sometimes does), & I noticed that increasing the shadow detail with a curve & then adding Local Contrast Enhancement has the interesting effect of shifting the religious implications of the scene: The original version with lots of 99-100% black & lots of contrast is more black-and-white / 'Calvinistic' / judgmental: How could I possibly get out of the darkness & into that light? Opening the shadows & putting more glow into locally contrasting areas makes the scene more glowing & convivial / communal, like an eternal last supper in a refectory (which is what the abbey room, with its table & chairs, seems to have been?). I'm sure this will be regarded as a somewhat screwy post by most, who won't care for religious symbols & will simply delight in this fine image, just as-it-is!
