I supposed that would just be over development then. If you want to keep shadow detail in the harsh light without the bleeding effect then contract the development by at least 30 percent. If that doesn't work move to a lower contrast developer like this: <http://www.imagebrooklyn.com/street_pages_2008/bs077.htm> <http://www.imagebrooklyn.com/street_pages_2008/bs050.htm> Same triX and direct sunlight on the pumpkin. And very harsh light on the second example but the effect isn't as noticable. I also found that a lower contrast lens has a similar effect: <http://www.imagebrooklyn.com/street_pages_2007/bs007.htm> Same TriX overdeveloped but using a rigid summicron.
