Three 5x7's from Deegan Lake

I was testing my N-1 development and so went to a local lake by my house to shoot the roll.
I shot these with my FE2 on HP5+ @200, dev'd them in D76H 1:1.
I guess that was too much pulling of the dev time because these needed a grade 4 or 5 filter to print ok.

I guess next time I try N time or -10% and see what happens with bright sun.

One good thing is that I got good cloudy skies (much of the time I don't, the contrast in the negs is just too high)

Printed on Oriental Satin Finish Multigrade Paper at 5x7 and scanned.

The prints are very acceptable though... but, you don’t mention the normal development time/temp for the film/developer used and the % by which that time was reduced for n-1 development. This information would be helpful... as would the method of measuring exposure.

As Fred said.
Also a slower film like fp4 will do much better in strong sun. HP5 lower contrast works really well in low even light in my opinion.

No problem.
I used the time from the Massive Dev Chart. Ilford's chart has it at 11 minutes and I found that to be too little time. The Massive Dev chart has it at 13 minutes and I found that to be pretty spot on so I called that "N" development. I used 20% as "1 stop" so the time on this was 10m 24s.
For the exposure, I let the camera decide; A mode.
