jarrydbekker Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I love how the blacks and whites of this photo show no detail and am wondering if anyone knows how this was achieved. Your help will be greatly appreciated! Regards Jarryd<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blknwhtfoto Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 hc-110 with Neopan 1600+an extra minute of development will achieve this. Maybe two extra minutes from the normal B formula(1+31). I too really like this highly contrasty style. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john lehman, college alask Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Any pushed film will tend towards the "soot and chalk" look. It was very popular in the 60's - Tri-X exposed at EI 1200 developed in Acufine was a classic combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_svensson Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Looks like a lith print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric merrill Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Jarryd: <p>Increase the contrast of the print. Either through Photoshop or choosing a higher contrast paper/higher contrast filter in the darkroom. I would hesitate to overdevelop negatives just for this effect, because then you will have a much harder time lessening the effect if you so desire. <p>--<br>Eric<br><a href="http://www.merrillphotography.com/">http://www.merrillphotography.com/</a><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_de_fehr Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I'm with Peter; looks like a lith print to me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim_gleisner Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Almost certain that is a lith print, especially since Bryan has been hanging out with Anton Corbijn. Look at his pictures if you want to see more (and better) examples of the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrydbekker Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Thanx everyone. Does anybody have any other examples of this kind of style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders_andersson1 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I?m pretty sure it?s a lith print. Just search the net for "lith print" and you?ll find plenty of pages describing the technique. In short it?s done like this: overexpose the photo paper 2-3 steps (not all papers will do. Fomabrom for instance works fine). Develop in lith paper developer (maco?s for instance), diluted somewhere 1:15-1:50 for about 20 minutes. It takes quite a while before a low contrast image appears, but when the blacks apper everything goes quickly. Good luck!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
