>>1989Yeah, HP5+ have too much contrast... I don't like it, actually, but I just had this one at the time.
The developing have no intentional push/pull, but it's a stand developing (1:50 paRodinal for ~1h). Also, the light was pretty close to the hand, and I was trying to create something like neo-noir (exp. -2 f-stop).
I did the scan with Canon 600D and 100mm f/3.5 macro, so probably it also added some contrast too.
My next goal is to take photos with dark red filter + polarizer on Double-X 5222 Eastman and develop in pyrogalol stand (1:200 , 3h).
For people doing B&W photos: check out the new demosaicing algo. in RawTherapee... sharp as fuarrrk, really.
