daniel_baharal Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 hi all of you,my question now is if I underexpose by half stop would that give a richer warm tones and should I develop normally. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_leest1 Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Underexposing will block the shadows. If you like to experiment OVEREXPOSE in steps of 1/2. Print the one you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_andrews Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Warm tones on the negative? Huh?<br>The warmth or coolness of tone in the print is totally unaffected by the exposure of the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_baharal Posted February 7, 2002 Author Share Posted February 7, 2002 hi Mark, <p> but what happens on a bright sunny day? when there is more shadows on one side and it is too white on other parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_smith2 Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 are you mixing Print development with neg exposure? Print with suitable paper/developer or tone for 'warm' prints. Expose for shadows and develop highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_baharal Posted February 7, 2002 Author Share Posted February 7, 2002 "Expose for shadows and develop highlights." <p> what do you mean to develop highlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_smith2 Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 "expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights" slight typo! <P> what this means is exposure controls shadow detail (you exposure will govern whether you capture details in shadow areas) and development controls contrast of the highlights, or dense areas on the negative (not enough development and you won't get seperation in those highlights) <P>Someone else will be able to expain this better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_leest1 Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 quote: but what happens on a bright sunny day? when there is more shadows on one side and it is too white on other parts? /quote; <p> Expose for the shadows - what not is recorded on a negative cannot be printed. - The situation you give is a clear example - Develop for the highlight. In a contrasty scene as you describe you must reduce contrast. This is done by reducing development about 15%. <p> So: expose 1/2 to 1 stop over but reduce development with 15%. For warmtone prints use Ilford Multigrade Warmtone developed in Agfa Neutol WA. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
