Dear all, I've also just recently acquired a couple of rolls of 7363. Never used this film before, but I would like to shoot some very sunny ocean landscapes and achieve an extremely high contrast picture. Ideally, I would like to lose all the grays and in between tones. Maybe someone can recommend a special processing? I'm aiming for something like this: https://vimeo.com/154730696
Also what ISO should I rate it at, if I'm going to shoot in daylight with a lot of blue sea/sky? I was also wondering what effect will solarization have on the contrast and what would a red camera filter do to the picture? I plan to edit it with some 7222 shot through a red filter for increased contrast. Thanks for any advice, All my best, Diana -- diana vidrascu www.dianavidrascu.com [email protected] > Here's the update from Kodak. Thank you Dan in Motion Picture Division, > you rock....
