Pico,

Love the photo and you say that's Agfa 100... Shot at 100 ISO? Was there a filter?

 

As an aside; I notice that sometimes members don't share great detail when posting photos. If it's a film then I'd love to know the film / ISO setting / filter used, if any. It's helpful if I'm going to start playing with that film and it adds to my appreciation of the photograph too.

It's Tri-X, at nominal 400, processed in straight D76. Bright overcast day. No filter. The image is from the original print, but the grain doesn't show on a small monitor image.

 

I no longer develop in straight D76, but here are two others using the same ISO and D76. Rather under-exposed. Printed on fixed grade fiber. I just skimmed the files on my laptop for these. There are very many more I could find with some effort. I'll post links so that anyone browsing this won't have to suffer downloads.

And one processed in boiling Rodinal. Light - one 60 watt bulb in tall ceiling farm kitchen.

hey guys. I'm developing my film for the first time. I finished a couple of rolls if tri-x at 800 in daylight. Should I be under developing? I'm planning on developing under the suggested tri-x times by Kodak. Any help is appreciated!
