Dead photo formula

Lazy ones use cameras with automatic exposure Geez, I forgot they exist, welcome to the XXI Where the contrast is too low, one can increase the development time to raise the contrast and control the highlights with agitation, I like low contrast range scenes, since I like that kind of flexibility I do not know what a D-3 type of negative method is. Did I write D-3? Oh my, I meant 3-D, according to this typology http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Mo...Ringaroun3.jpg 3-D is the third example from the left. In this case slightly overexposed and uderdeveloped (7-D is the opposite) That is a ring-around. I still do not know what you mean by third from the left. That would be the one on the right, but there are three on the right. Can you explain what you mean by open shadows and flat dull highlights? Technically everything was okay, but the impression of the unmasked, expanded shadows and compressed highlights wasn't..er refreshing. If the image was like that in the ring-around, then only image number 5 would be what one would normally want for the final print. (Depends, of course, on what you actually want.) If your shadows were "expanded" then it sounds as though you overdeveloped and overexposed the film. If the highlights were compressed, then it sounds as though you were so overexposed that they got up on the shoulder of the film (very rare with modern films: the only film I ever used that had a shoulder in the useful range of exposure was Kodak's Panatomic-X). Since you claim both, it sounds as though you severely exposed your film (by three or more stops, I would expect). -- .~.
