Archer Mansion Front 120.apug

Good call on the exposure. Seems to have come out nicely. I love having the historic bldgs well done.

There looks to be a large SBR here that you've captured very well with +2 stops. Did you alter your development time from that recommended for box speed. I am an Acros 120 and Xtol user as well but I don't think I have has to cope with what I think is probably a larger SBR than I have come across in the U.K. when I have been taking my Acros pics. I note that you've used a yellow, was this part of the 2 stops overexposure or was the filter factor in addition to the +2 stops?

Thanks

@pentaxuser I am glad you asked - i am rethinking what i did. I didn't have a notebook with me and failed to document clearly what i did. The filter was another stop over the +2. Seems improbable but i can only recall that i exposed +3 stops inclusive of the filter, while also asking the lab to process N+2. I only noted for the lab that i aimed to try a Pt/Pd print of these negatives. Seems rather drastic that i meant to overexpose by 2 AND push by 2. I had really wanted to maintain the shadow detail and i wanted as high a highlight density as possible for the Pt/Pd printing.

It is possible the film is blocked up in the highlights. I don't have the film back yet, but will look at that when it arrives. The brighest brick still seems to have detail but maybe the window casement have no more to give.
