Tri-x D76 2-1
A powerful image, jolts the viewer out of their complacency.
 
Great shot - tight composition, but I noticed the beautiful grain..this is the look I always want to get in my 35mm work. It's all so well balanced, not a bit of dead space in it.
 
Agree that this is powerful. Unsettling and it really grabs a hold of my heart. Incredible.
 
Colin, film was developed 2 parts D-76 to 1 part Water (1600 ml D-76 to 800 ml Water in a 8 reel Patterson tank) at 20C for 12 minutes 30 seconds, with agitation first 30 seconds and a few turns every 30 seconds after that. Got that from the darkroom book of a few years ago, supposedly W Eugene Smiths development time (thou I think he also developed by inspection under a special light in the darkroom).


Here is the book I mentioned.
