Kodak Tri-X 400@1600 in Rodinal

New film negatives just developed! Very excited about these :) - iPhone5

 

Rolleiflex SL66E + new film back without overlap issues + Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f2 HFT + 120 Kodak Tri-X film,

 

Photos were taken in low light so I shot Kodak Tri-X 400@1600 approx then in developing wanted to create high contrast images so I did my usual Rodinal semi-stand development for 45mins at 21 degrees but with agitations every 10 minutes.

 

The negatives were therefore shot underexposed by 2 stops. I wanted to keep the blacks black and get the highlights to the brightness I saw when taking the image. By agitating more during the development the highlights get developed more than with regular stand developing to hopefully have 'correctly' exposed highlights.

 

The lighting for most of these photos was contrasty anyway so I had no interest to keep shadow detail.

 

This roll was witht Katie modelling in London this week as part of the portrait photography workshop, using both film cameras and digital cameras
