Everyone has made relevant posts. You've been repeatedly told you need to do the work to make film work for you. Instead, you demand to be spoon fed the simplest of photographic concepts. If you have any desire to attain any semblance of competence, you need to back up, and start from scratch. One film/one developer. Read the books which have been repeatedly suggested. I get the feeling all of your confusion/lack of focus comes from taking all the disparate things you read online as gospel. You need to learn the most basic principles, before you'll ever be able to translate your artistic desires into anything of substance. Everyone here (and everywhere), producing quality work has put in the time, and effort, to get where they are. What makes you think your path can be different?
Eddie ya know what, you can go (expletive delete) yourself, do you know how much time and effort I put into shooting, all I do is read and research about film and developing, I spend all my available time shooting and developing reading and learning, and then when I need help I ask a question, when I'm curious about something someone says I ask for elaboration on the subject, and I buy books on photography and I read them, and I look at others imagery and view different styles and emulsions and light and composition, and my whole life is photography, I'm putting in my time, and I'm learning at the pace I can absorb stuff. And again (expletive delete) you for saying nothing I've ever done had been of substance, you're a real (expletive delete) for saying that kind of (expletive delete) to me.
And I don't mean relevant to what YOU want me to do, relevant to the actual question I posed.
I said .... If you've done this, please post any info you have on deviating from the listed times.
If you haven't done this STOP POSTING seriously, anyone who hasn't actually done this, I wish you would just shut up, because you're doing nothing but derailing the entire post into another "tell Stone how to do things differently" thread.
Im really sick of it, it's like talking at a bunch of (expletive delete), if you haven't done this, please just stop posting. You're not being helpful and you're making me not even want to be on this forum anymore....
Please don't mistake this for not valuing the knowledge you have, I do, separate from this post, but NOTHING you people are saying is actually helpful RIGHT NOW except the few who have SHOT WITH HP5+ at EI 3200 AND DEVELOPED IN DD-X... AND GIVEN EXAMPLES OF THEIR RESULTS the rest are just blowing smoke because you're too proud to admit that YOU HAVENT DONE THIS and so don't have any knowledge to share in regard to this specific procedure.
I made that perfectly clear in my first post, I don't know why that's so hard for people to comprehend.... If you don't like that I'm asking for examples of others that have done this before me, then don't share, that's fine, you can keep your secret, you're just another one of those people who step on the little guy to make sure he stays on top instead of sharing with the community, that's fine, don't share, but also don't share if you have no experience shooting HP5+ at 3200 and Dev on Rodinal...
Can you tell I'm PO'd right now?....
