Developed in Technidol. The image is a flat-bed scan of a 5 x 7 split-filtration print on Luminos paper. The sky has NOT been burned in - that's the way it was. The buttom part of the image was burned in at Grade 5 and a bit at Grade 0 (to yield detail in the highlites.) Scanning this negative with my Nikon 4000 was an unhappy experience. The Nikon wants to reveal scratches etc that I can't see (or print) when I'm in the darkroom. I'm wondering if I scan it as a color negative and then convert to B&W in Photoshop might work. I think I'm finally getting the hang of shooting and developing Tech Pan. I've been given the recipe for an alternate developer but at this point in my skill set I'm a bit wary of giving that a shot. I use a rental-darkroom so it's just another box of things to carry around. Thanks, in advance, for your comments.
