I am partial to the sixth shot in the series - comments are > welcome. > > http://www.dmason.net/photos/Denali/ i used to know them when they were mt. mckinley. ;) seriously, i like the shots. i think i might tone down the contrast a bit in the highlights; i'd like some detail. compositions are very good. the negs aren't that contrasty, are they? what did you develop in? you might want to try TMZ in xtol next time. after doing some side-by-sides of it and delta 3200, i've decided it's definitely better and grabbing highlight and shadow detail. it's a lot granier, though, so there's a trade-off. i'm going to give neopan at 3200 a shot and TMZ in Tmax developer sometime soon, on mark rabiner's recommendation. then i'm going to decide on a high speed combo and stick with it so i can learn it. i'm also, since i feel compelled to tell y'all my life story, going to try dropping TCN in favor of TMX or delta 400 or maybe even TX or HP5. now that i have a jobo up and running, i can process my own film cheaply and easily enough--no more standing around agitating ever 30 seconds--so the convenience of TCN is no longer an issue. i am, however, quite fond of the way it looks. - -- brad daly bwdaly@bigfatpipe.net http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly http://www.bigfatpipe.net/~bwdaly/paw.html "I pledge allegiance to Queen Frag and her mighty state of hysteria." --Calvin and Hobbes "War, what is it good for?
