How dense is the negative? Also how much compensation for reciprocity did you give? I've been curious about shooting night exposures with x-ray film but I'm not sure how to judge the reciprocity etc.Quote:

I'm sure there's loss as the negatives are quite thin/nearly clear in the shadows but I've just been accepting it as fact and looking for high contrast scenes that it'd play well with.
Very nice indeed, what did you rate the film at? Not trying to pry but I have some x-ray film and am looking to understand how to get the best results with it, ie. exposure times, appropriate filters, lighting, best development.Quote:

Never do preliminary stoping of processing or some funky stuff with processing in general, and i load film in total darkness. I am sure there are some magic dances with waiting to do things to exact seconds, but i rather chat with my wife, or read book, while processing, or wash dishes, than worry too much about whole thing ;). And i don't do distilled water for dilluting things, or measure temperature (apart from color processing of course). There. No secrets ;) Simple and dirty

Ok, well that sounds simple enough and if I get close to the quality of your image I will be more than happy. Thanks for your insights that has removed some of the mystique with x-ray.Quote:

SergeiR: I commented on your ability to capture the spontaneity of children over in the portrait sub-forum, and you have done the same bit of magic here! The picture of mother and daughter is wonderful. Just curiosity - is that your family, or friends? If it was a commissioned picture of strangers, it would be even more amazing.
Thank you. Its been a picnic with folks i happen to know ;)Quote:
