I should add that this was lit with a strobe through a diffusing umbrella.

Don't change anything. You nailed it first time.
Very nice atmosphere shoot and i am sure also very personal.

Thin? For a holga this is bullet proof.
Looks great.

I might add that some people believe stained negatives appear a bit thinner anyway. The image stain itself accounts for much of the printing density. This image looks good on my monitor. I imagine you are concerned a little with a tad loss of shadow detail in the background plants? I like the warmth and intimacy of the shot. Good job!

Thanks all. I'll do another test soon and get the exposure right. Getting that stop back should make the difference.

By the middle of the week I'll have some 4x5 HP5+ and FP4+ and I'll be testing it with the 510-Pyro. What I really want to do is find an N development time for these films at 1:400 or 1:500 dilution and I'm pretty unsure about where to start, time-wise.

Soon I'll have the safelight I need for development by inspection and maybe I should just wait to do those tests till I have that in place.

Can't say much to technical process, but the result is really delicate ... +++! r.

I think this is a terrific image---aside from any technical issues that I fail to see---it looks excellent to me !

I guess I'll accept that I've made a pretty promising first attempt with a staining developer. I'm excited about moving forward. Thank you all.

I really like the feel of this print. Since I am now in love with Lith printing, I think this in Lith woud be fabulous. very nice.
