Mark Antony Posted January 28, 2008 Share #21 Posted January 28, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Trouble is with pushing 100- 200EI you are generally getting higher contrast. If you overexpose then under-dev you get less contrast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share #22 Posted January 28, 2008 So better to pull (the 400) and settle the agitation down you reckon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted January 28, 2008 Share #23 Posted January 28, 2008 Yes I'd say in my experience that a 400 at EI 200 then dev accordingly (pull) would be good in high contrast light. Pushing on the other hand causes tonal compression, think Tri-x at 800 -1600 and how you get that very gritty high contrast effect. In the UK in January we don't have to worry about high contrast I did some shots at the week-end of a singing duo in an almost dark bar, with the only light a very directional halogen. If I'd have exposed 400 at 1600 I'd have got high contrast with few tones, so I used Ilford Delta 3200 at EI 1600, metered for the shadow detail and closed down two stops then developed accordingly (10mins in Rodinal 1:25) The resulting images while hardly full tone certainly have better tone on the faces than if I'd pushed.
