Ghosts in the Darkness
Menacing dangers in a dark alley. Look behind the obvious .... No one wants a Dobie sneaking up on them in the dark....
Kodak 2383 pushed to ISO 6 (2 Stops) shot with Nikon N90s and Sigma EX 17-35 AF Zoom. Taking advantage of 2383's tendency to go dark when pushed. This was actually shot in broad daylight in the afternoon sun in an open yard. Interesting effects. Developed in FUJI RA-4 paper developer 1 to 14 dilution plus 10ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide to bring the developer to pH 10.59 (ECP 2 levels). Dev for 3 minutes at 100 degrees. Acid stop for 40 seconds. Bleached for 1 minute in potassium ferricyanide bleach, 1 minute wash, 40 second fix in home made ammonium thiosulfate fixer. Difficult to scan because both the scanner and I wanted to make it "daylight" instead of a very dark image as the negative confirms. More to be done here....
