Exciting shot, Steve.  How does the cost of that B&W film compare to Tri-X?

 

 

Nice one, Charles.   :)

Eastman XX is 5.99 for a roll of 24 exposures (guys at the film photography project won't spool 36 for some reason). The CineStill crowd produces this once a year, for some reason they don't make it a regular product. Shot at its native 200 I find it has really good blacks but it is also not a high contrast film, lot more grays than Tri-X -- I like clean, lots of grays. Adox CHS II 100 iso is similar except that it makes orthochromatic so reds come out darker. Tri-X, according to B&H web site is $4.95 for a roll of 36.

 

Ready for our annual dawn water shoot?

Interesting., thanks.

 

I was born ready for a dawn shoot.

And the señorita from the Challah asked me this morning where her photo was....

I blushed, clutched my bag full of challah, and then mumbled something about how you need to give it to her....  :o

I have already shown you some B+W shots of this shoot, here's a Kodak 200 (out of date) M4P 35mm color skopar

These are fantastic, Gary.  Although I like the first I do prefer the B&W of this lovely lady.  Both renditions are lovely, though.

I was told to underexpose and raise the exposure for each shot

Yes, that is how i intuited it as well. But then i got myself confused as to how much incremental underexp i need and blah blah and then i said f... it i am using tri-x

This was the shot before the one above, i was walking backwards as they were coming at me, i know a lot of photographer have gone "arse over tit" doing this (English saying)

Steve,

I agree with Adam. I dig the shot. I do believe hp5 or Tri-x may serve you better for the greater latitude they offer.
