[Leica] Sant Jordi (St. Georges Day)

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hi Peter, I agree, I had to burn her dress, the reason? I think it could be over exposed, I have not mesured the light because on such circumstances the risc is los the moment, but it could be also a developing time mistake, I don’t think so because the general look of the other pictures is correct, but with this film I’ve experimented a different process, the film is Adox Silvermax 100, some reviews talk about you can rate it at 200 and even 400 at the normal developing time and procedure (dilution  1:29 on Silvermax) , I’ve already did this experience before and the results was not bad if you don’t need shadows details or grey tones, on Digital Truth Developing Chart I’ve saw a recommended time for developing the film rated at EI 160 making a dilution of 1:56 instead 1:29 and putting twice the time, I’ve add 10 minutes stand development and probably this was too much. I have a Sekonic L 308 hand meter, it is very good and I’m continuously changing my setting when I go from a light side to the shadow side, if I have the time I do a second measurement, if not I shoot as the camera is setm however I think I can improve these highlights in the darkroom.

Thanks for looking and commenting
Lluis
