Dereliction II
On the left:
Camera: Nikon F90X with an Orange filter
Film: Kodak Professional 400TX BW film
Scanned by Atkins Photography Lab, Adelaide, Australia
On the right, the Nikon D850. Not as strict a comparison as the previous shots because the angle to the sun is different, but still instructive. The film holds up well I think.
One thing that you can do with shooting film negatives is to overexpose the shot. This brings out more detail in the shadows, but you don't blow out your highlights as in digital. Film is very tolerant (unless shooting slides) and this little trick helps to lift the shot as we see here. One stop is probably enough.
