Three diverging moments

alt text

I’m experimenting with pushing Tri-X to 1600 and 3200 ISO (this shot is 3200). My masters final project is about a dream-like experience and I’m playing with heavy grain and the sense of fogginess it can illicit. I’ll be experimenting with double exposures as well.

This is the Barcelona Cathedral around 10am on a weekday during Semana Santa. The tourists hadn’t quite started to swarm yet (I mean, if I’m honest, at 8 months living here I’m still a tourist).

Shot on a Minolta XD-11 that used to be my father’s. 35mm lens. Probably f8 with a high-is shutter given the ISO.

Never did much with TriX but I loved pushing Ilford Delta to 1600 and beyond. Such gorgeous grain and contrast.

@1f2frfbf oh i should definitely try with some delta. i have delta 3200 to experiment with, but i've never pushed delta 400 (or 100). i've also been playing with harmon kentmere 400 and really like it. i usually stick with hp5+, it's very hardy when messing with chemistry.

@wjcstp thank you!

Just keep in mind this chemistry is very toxic to the nervous system, and does cause parkinson's if you do not protect yourself. No contact, ventilate, always use gloves.
