[Leica] My 6 pictures

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hi Peter,

Thank you vry much for your comments, you have very well reported the signifiance of both images, In my opinion, both express the same thing, but they explain it differently. I think they complement each other, so I think it would be a good idea to show both.

I agree with you about the look of over exposed images but I think that this is a defect of over developing, in Barcelona is very, very hot, my darkroom is at 27 or 28 ºC and this increase very fast the temperature of the developer, I have prepared the developer and started the process at 19ºC, after 6 minutes developing time when I have poor the developer (I dalways do this to have a better information of the temperature) it was at 23ºC, normally in winter the final temperature is 20 or 21ºC. However I think that when I do the positive this will be corrected, the scanner increase the highlights than the paper sensitivity. I hope that in September I can work again in the darkroom.

Cheers
Lluis
