HOW WOULD YOU SHOOT ILFORD DELTA 3200 IN THIS SITUATION?

[RattyMouse]

I've shot a lot of basketball in gyms at ISO 6400. My advice: shoot digital.

Ridiculous advice. I would ignore this. High school wrestling is nowhere near as fast as basketball. If the OP wanted to shoot digital he wouldnt be here asking questions.

Thank you all for the advice that you have so willingly given. As a new striving enthusiast in a digital world I have heavily weighed my options and decided to whole heartedly plunge into the world of film. I do not own a digital camera and do not foresee owning one in the near future. It does not excite me. That is not to say that I have any sort of distain for those that do. "To each his own". I am interested in the photographic process old school. As mentioned earlier, photographers were capable of amazing feats prior to the digital age and that will be the school in which I will study.

You are infinitely smarter, and more polite that the self proclaimed "scientist".

I shoot Delta 3200 at either ISO1600 or 3200 and then develop with DD-X at one stop higher than what I rated the film. Always pleased with the results.

Interesting article, thanks. Having used D3200 quite a lot with DDX but always with conventional agitation and usually at 1600 rather than 3200. I looked carefully at the two examples he gives of stand development and couldn't see any real improvements over standard times and agitation but of course the real test, I suppose is a side by side set of negs of the same scene taken at the same time and then developed conventionally and by his stand method

Worth a shot perhaps. The worst that might happen is that the stand method is no better

There is always a risk a streak marks with stand development which the author mentioned.

I have not tried it yet either.
