Austin - I have never made FP4+ look like that! Care to share the development, please?

It doesn't have anything to do with developers/development. It's a combination of subject tonality (looks like it was frosty/icy) and tone reproduction by the photographer (post-processing).

I posit tmy2 is a very versatile film which doesn't have a look of it's own, but can have a look a photographer+darkroom worker can impart with practice.

Definitely.

Lovely photos !

Chrism, I've never seen FP4 look like that either, and I use it all the time! :-) But Michael's right, there's nothing special about development here, it's just that everything was covered in frost. The scene actually looked infrared in person if you can imagine that. Everything was glowing white, with almost no color whatsoever. It was wild! But oh so cold...

Thanks guys; I'm overwhelmed with MF negatives and I have to scan them all before I switch back to 4x5 on the scanner.

Here's Ken "Master of Midtones" Lee at a site in western MA.

I managed a very productive couple of rolls and sheets of film here. The LF portraits thread shows me and my camera.
