I recently went through and developed a roll that I had taken in the mountains. I used Blazinal at 1:25 and Arista EDU 200. You'll have to forgive the composition and exposure, as I was a little tipsy when I shot these.
In this photo, it was overcast, but quite bright. The sun was shining through the clouds giving an exceptionally bright, diffuse light over everything. I was using the built in selenium meter in my Yashica Lynx 1000, which tends towards overexposure. The image came out super grainy.
Later on in the roll, there is this image
As you can see, the grain is way less apparent.
So my question is this: What exactly is the relationship with Rodinal and grain? I know that grain goes DOWN with higher dilutions, but is it fair to say that the grain will go UP with overexposure and DOWN with underexposure?
