I thought a concrete example regarding "adjustments to development" might also be helpful…
This is a chilly shot near Mount Rainier where I aimed for detail on two ends of a very wide zone range, so I chose compensation development to rescue the highlights.
Here, the darkest tree-boughs were zone 3. The sunny dimpled snow was above zone 9.
I used dilute HC-110 – that is, 1+123 direct from concentrate (not stock), and tray-developed for 19 minutes in 68° F, w/ a little bit of agitation every few minutes. All the snow has texture in straight prints from my Omega D2-v.
