bradleycloven Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Rifle Storage. Notes on Exposure and Development All shots at f/22, with 1/2 second to 2 second exposure times. I accidentally had my Pentax Spotmeter set to ASA 80 for the ASA 125 FP4+, so I should have been somewhat overexposed. I compensated by triangulating between Rick Drawbridge's instructions for FP4+ ASA 100 and Massive Dev Chart at ASA 64, ending up at 8 minutes and 73 degrees in a 1:1:100 mix of liquid pyro. Either film latitude or luck saved the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shots! The latitude of FP4 and the full tonal values created by PMK is a combination that's hard to beat. Here are a few from a Nikon F4S with a 28-105mm Nikkor f/3.5-4.5D lens. The film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro.

And I love the gray scale of FP4+ and Pyro. But I'm getting consistently darker overall tone. A push in the right direction would be appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images suggest that there's possibly more shadow detail available than is currently displayed. I don't know what scanner software you're using, but I'd suggest a gamma alteration when you're setting up the scan might help. Or a shadow/highlight adjustment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 royall_berndt saidWhere did you get Panatomic X? I won a 50' roll of bulk Panatomic-X (expired about 1982 or 1983). This film does not show age fog much (or at all) so I use it quite a bit. I've also shot some 36exp Panatomic-X with a 1978 expiration that also did well, The oldest I've shot expired in 1964 and still no fog. I processed in HC110 dilution B for the older rolls and am using dilution H for the bulk roll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad, just out of curiosity I took the liberty of stealing one of your images and tweaking it a little, as I would have done for scanning. I may have taken it a bit far, but even in the screenshot there's quite a bit of detail that the original is lacking. Hope you don't mind... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 bradcloven said: Okay, Mr. D, give it up! What's the trick?!? No real trickery, just some fairly basic image adjustment in PP. I just used Faststone Image Viewer 5.5 rather than Pshop, altering levels, curves, and contrast. Faststone is a handy little freeware ap that I use for simple adjustments. Obviously, if you'd made these adjustments at the scanning stage, with your 5x4 negs you'd have huge amounts of information to play around with.

Bill Bowes Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hi Brad. My turn to "steal & return". You have tons of shadow values in those negs, you are just printing tooooo dark. This "return" has a few simple brightness controls added to bring the whites up about 1 or 2 Zones. The shadows follow along. I always like to have a Zone 6 or 7 white value if possible in a print. My print has been dropped to 1k pixel, so it might be a bit "mushy". Aloha, Bill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Some from the Praktica BC1, a pic of which is over in the "What camera..." thread. The lens was the 35-70mm Prakticar f/3.5-4.5, and the film was Ilford FP4 Plus developed in PMK Pyro.
