I am basically getting what I want from the film/paper combination I'm using in the darkroom. I like the pictures and can usually predict the result with some degree of accuracy.
However, I didn't see much printed work and don't know what to compare it to.
Also, both of my parents who have printed a lot in their darkrooms say that my prints are too contrasty and I should print so that there's detail in both the highlights and the shadows.
When I print it like that I find the details are distracting and I like the harsh high contrast look.
I also heard that it's typical of the novice to shoot in high contrast.
Who are you trying to please with your prints? Yourself or somebody else?
