Hi Dave ... Very little PS work done on this, and, for the most part, any of my B&W from the last few years. It's mostly exposure and development. Glad you liked the pic ... it's a favorite of mine.
Y'know, over the years I've screwed around with a lot of different developers, tried all sorts of films and techniques, and I always come back to the basics. Why? Because although there's always a film, a developer, or a technique that can do some things better, overall, to my eye, there's nothing better than the old standards. TX, PX, ID-11 or D-76. They seem to be a fine match to the old K-lenses, too. I suppose over the years they've become like an old pair of comfortable shoes, or tyhe old German sedan I sometimes tool around in ... dependape, predictable, and fashionably out of fashion <LOL> Shel > [Original Message] > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Shel. > Catching up on some 400 Paw's stored up. > > Love it.
