similar shot – different film and processing
by matt
Very similar shot to this but with different film and exposure+developing. The Fuji Acros 100 was shot and developed at box speed, although I can’t remember where I metered the light. The Ilford HP5 (this photo) is too light in the highlights, although it was over exposed and then over developed. I have to say, here I much prefer the shot on Acros. Much darker, richer contrast and better balance in the smooth dark tones.

over exposed and over developed
by matt
After reading the excellent article from Johnny Patience I decided to try over exposing and over developing my film. This roll of HP5 shot on the Makina was done with just that. I do struggle to see the difference in some films sometimes – especially on medium format – but I do think that doing this has brought something to my images that is not there in previous photos shot and developed at box speed.
