Honestly, I thought that FP4 had a good anti-halation layer, but probably if overexpose it for a few stops - then the film will show that halation. sure, but as I said, rn I just trying to understand how to get halation on purpose. Anyway, thanks again everyone for input.

Thank you for your input; I understand what you mean, but it's not what I want to achieve. I checked Ralph's photos, and it is exactly as you said about blocked highlights. However, for now (at least 😄), I'm trying to achieve something different. What I want is to purposefully overexpose to...

I would like to know how to do it and control it. For HP5 - I also use only HC-110, for me they match that made in heaven, hehe. As I understand highlight development is affected by agitation, the harder you agitate - the more highlights will be developed, and you could block highlights, so...

I was wrong to say 'glow'; I meant the halation. And you're right—I messed with everything since stand development compresses the curve, and I would not get a halation on the overexposed object. Could you please explain how to achieve the full highlight density without over-developing it? In...

You're right, I didn't know what it's called, but this is what I meant. The first photo is developed in 1:25, 13 mins @200 and the second in 1:100, 60mins, @64 As you can see on the first photo has a lot more 'glow' than the second one, however, conditions was almost similar in terms...

could please someone point me, I tried to develop a roll of FP4 that was shot @ 64 in stand development, 1:100, agitated for the first minute and then left the tank for 1 hour. What I expected - was to have a lot of acutance (glow) in areas with a lot of highlights, but as you probably...

You're right, anyway I got the usable results after scanning, and I guess I just freak out after seeing the negative itself. I'll continue testing, but I liked so much what I got after editing, probably it is how it should be. Thanks for all replies :)

So, I finally developed my first roll of FP4 with Rodinal 1+25, and it came out super overcooked. The negative looks very high contrast, but the scanner saved me - I was able to recover details. Even with the overcooking, I must admit, I really like this combo of FP4 and Rodinal. Help me...

Thanks, everyone again, I haven't tried FP4 yet, so it will be a good chance to try it.

well, it wasn't on photrio servers, it used photrio forum function to load the image: https://www.photrio.com/forum/proxy.php?image= the same way as photo embedded above. The photo itself is on a different server, and this code is just used to load the image... so the script just loaded the...

thank you, will try soon :) If you take a look closely at these image paths, you will see that they're not uploaded to the forum.

Hey folks, thank you so much everyone for your input, I was away from laptop and didn't have time to reply to everyone, but I really appreciate your help :smile: you're right, I also want to try to push FP4 to 200, so it will be 1:25 dilution for 13 mins, according to massive dev chart...

Hey folks, recently I started to play with low shutter speeds (1/4, 1/8), with my to-go bw film (HP5+) 400 iso is too much and I'm overexposing photos, so I'm thinking of starting using FP4 for these types of photos. My goal is to achieve something similar to Trent Parke's style, using a slow...

okay, thanks, I also think that I need to underexpose a lot more. in that case, I worry that I could overexpose the subject

M6, no tripod here, this is why I'm using flash
