Hey,
So I've been pouring over "The Negative" trying to figure out how I can control some of the blow out parts of my photographs.
I shoot at night and would love to keep some amount of detail in the highlights but I know it's hella hard to do while keeping detail in the shadows.
The solution for color stuff was to do 2 exposures and sew them together in photoshop. . . http://anti-aesthetic.net <--- examples

With B/W I know I have a bit more control when I process the film, but I have no idea where to start. It seems that a lot of "The Negative" was/is based around old film with thick emulsions---stuff I don't have access to.
Btw, I'm shooting FP4+, rating it for 100 and then adding about a half stop for reciprocity (exposures are about hovering around 6min. . .).
If I need to I'd be down for switching film if that would help.
Thanks
Tom
