philipus Posted February 16, 2020 Share #67084 Posted February 16, 2020 I saw this one on Instagram earlier and felt wow, just wow. And here it's even better. Such a great shot, well done Steve.

I had a look and I think both are good. I even prefer the second one over the first Thanks for taking the effort, Philip. It worked at the 2nd attempt, thankfully. Interestingly, the Instagram community also prefer the 2nd one too but I know that I can go back another day and easily take it again or do better - I think it needs a person in it. In contrast, what I love about the first is the character of the guy crossing the frame - he looks craggy and uncompromising; very evocative of the region.

I WAY prefer the first one, largely because it humanizes the cityscape in the way you've talked about above. I'm not sure social media "communities" are always the best way of evaluating your own photos. There is a reason that you took (in this example) those two photos. The whole world may prefer one or the other but it is what YOU want to say that is important, because it's your work. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback - I suspect that Instagram likes the 2nd one because it is immediately impactful - the arch of the bridge almost looks like it's taken in a fisheye and frames what's inside so is easy on the eye. Some photographs are the result of great skill, meticulous planning and manipulation, whereas, for me at least, when somebody just walks through your field of view (yes, with a well chosen backdrop) and you manage, through luck or skill, to be able to capture something of their character, there's almost no better feeling 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it particularly fine-grained? This looks exceptionally clean and luscious. Thanks a lot Philip. I like it very much and yes it does have a reputation for producing a great deal of detail, especially in the highlights. It is a staining developer and the stain is deposited in proportion to the amount of silver exposed on the negative. The stain has the effect of masking the silver grains by being deposited between them. One of the disadvantages of PMK and other developers with pyrogallol as the active ingredient, is that film speed is lost, particularly with higher iso film. Usually, it is recommended to shoot at half the box, so for Tri-x or HP5, shoot at 200. But for slower film the necessity in diminished, for example for FP4+ 125, you can shoot at 100 and for Delta 100, at 100. Also, acid solutions should not be used post-development. So you should not use an acidic stop bath as some people do, just water. An alkaline fixer is also recommended. I use Ilford rapid fix which is slightly acidic, but ok. There's a good article on PMK and other pyro developers here: https://sandykingphotography.com/resources/technical-writing/pyro-staining-developers Also on Flickr, the user radspix knows a lot about PMK. A nice fellow. I started using PMK after talking with him. Edit: another advantage is its long shelf life, kept as it is in two separate solutions. It's extremely concentrated and economical. I use pipettes with a cheap pipette filler (plastic device with a thumb roller) to draw up the solutions. And dedicate one pipette for each solution to avoid risk of contamination.

That’s just beautiful, Keith, and surprisingly detailed and nuanced in colour for a lab scan. I’ve seen a few of your monochrome shots and it is blindingly obvious that you’re enjoying the new arrival. It will be interesting to see how you go using film and digital, considering you’re getting stellar results from both. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your explanation. I understand your fascination with this type of developer, having used Moersch Tanol and Finol for a few years. Indeed, grain and detail are both excellent. I did stop using these developers as the stain had a (brownish) colour cast that influenced the density meter for my enlarger, particularly as the colour cast was not uniformly predictable. Do you have a similar cast with your developer? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a similar cast with your developer? Hi Christoph. Yes, a brown-green cast. I do make prints too but I'm a real novice at it and haven't done much printing since making the switch to PMK. I don't use a density meter. I have seen some articles and threads about printing with PMK negs. I don't remember much about them, but I remember that some people mentioning both advantages and disadvantages in relation to multi-grade and split-grade printing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to a balance between the M10 Monochrom and film use (M7, MP, R5) my thought currently are to maybe sell the MP (silver chrome a-la-carte with 0.58 VF and black saddle leather), retaining the others for colour film. B&w film use will be with my H503CX - indeed I recently added to my film stock with a delivery of ten rolls each of FP4+ and HP5+.
