Hi, all -

Ok, I'm trying to print this negative:


Guessed at the reciprocity data; guessed wrong. Should've decreased my developing, but the scene really didn't seem that contrasty at the time...

Anyway, I like the shot, but have that insane bright area. I'm trying to burn it in a bit to bring the contrast down to earth a bit, but - man - it seems like total guesswork. I've gotten close a couple times, but either the burn area is too dark, or the whole image darkens 'cause I was trying to feather it in too much...

Ok, so what's the trick here? I'm using a flashlight with a cover that has a little pinhole in it to give me a controlled spot. That right? Is there any way to take some of the guesswork outta this?

Thanks for any help.
Scott
