Cloudscientist Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi all Imagine a pretty dark background with a pretty white subject on the foreground. For example an animal. My aim during development of photo, is to generate very dark spots now only on the subject which is already light. But these spots should have the character of being grainy. So not by adding a liquid on that moment, because liquid is not grainy and rough and could even create small drops which i don't like. It should make a grainy inversion of white to black. So i thought it should be a chemical in powder , not liquid..? Any ideas welcome. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Lots of ways to generate grain on film -- Google "grain" for example You can use developers that are innately "grainy" (high-speed developers), you can make the temperature of the developer the wrong temperature (too hot) and so on Here's praise of grain from the way-back times Modern Photography 1948-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Of course, you can always go digital and use some effects program to add grain, etc. I know this, for sure;) Edited January 22, 2021 by JDMvW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
