TRIX 3200 isos rodinal 1+100 souped for 2h30

[le vrai rdu]

This week end I tried trix @ 3200 isos rodinal 1+100 souped for 2h30 , stand developement

Notice: one must be careful in metering the scene, overexposing gives burned whites and underexposed is not really nice but still exploitable. So I used my sekonic 208, incident light metering

Nicely done. I think I've gone out to at least 6400 if not 12800 (or somewhere in between) with 3 hour stand, and the results are impressive, no question.

 

[le vrai rdu]

Well I will try 6400 and 12500 iso then

Very pleasing results.

Nice try but I wouldn't do that for a regular basis.
Soaking a film for a very long time may damage it permanently

 

[le vrai rdu]

mine looks fine, no damages on the film

Very pleasnt. Seems the grain left in the developer

Well done!

And there was a photographer in Montreal who also posted some wonderful photos with high ISO/stand developed Tri-x a long while ago

If if Pepe did it for 1hour, I suspect 2h30 min are waste time, meaning Rodinal has nothibg to add...Only my curios thought

 

[le vrai rdu]

le vrai, how do these print at 8x10?

Scan are quite nice compared to a 400 isos trix

I'have not yet enlarged the pictures, I am still learning enlarging

Pepe said " Agitating using the spinner at the start, and after 45 minutes a thwirl every five minutes. " I didn't agitated my soup, that is why we have differents times

Thanks. Gorgeous results

At, I assume, some normal room temperature? Have you tried higher temperature to shorten times?
Years ago (Late 1950's) there was a developer named Von-El. Their developing charts went up to 100 deg F. When Tri-X was still rated at 200 ASA, my brother took some photos in a nite club at 1500 ASA, and used the maximum recommended time and temperature. Came out pretty good, although the shadow areas were blank.
Just wondering.

 

[le vrai rdu]

Ah. I would be really interested to see how these would actually print. Did you do any post processing in an image editing program?

no processing, the picture was okay at the the scan, I just resized it
bsdunek : I prefered 20°celsius and long time to avoid agitation that would have given grain and to much contrast

It seems that TriX is the favourite one for this kind of experiments, but did anybody try with another film? I use primarily apx400, and would be interesting to see how it works with stand development and high ISOs...

 

[le vrai rdu]

I used apx400 and I don't think it would work, it is said that it is not really a pushable film :/

I also use apx100, and that's another film that shouldn't be pushed. but I usually take it one or two stops over, if necessary...

 

[le vrai rdu]

Well, I paid half the price of a trix for a roll of apx, o I think you can afford in a try, I still have some APX 400, I use it for camera tests and experiments, so I think I will try but I don't have much hope concerning the result

Today I pulled of a very strange trick..

I loaded a tank with two rolls of fomapan 400, one of them shot at ISO 3200 (I recall now), and then developed them for two hours in 1:100 rodinal....

So thats two wrongs,
1: for 2 hour development the mix should be 1:200, not 1:100
2. loading one pushed film, 3 steps!, with one properly exposed

My negs are still drying so I havent been able to look at them closely..
But still, both rolls looks ok, at least for scanning.
Stand development is amazing

I'm not sure I understand the need to take a picture of a horse in broad daylight with TriX at 3200 E.I. especially considering the concomitant decrease in tonal values and the increase in grain, but I'm with sitemistic on testing for true E.I. If le vrai is having trouble with blown out highlights the problem would probably be over developing rather than metering. By reducing exposure by three stops (E.I. 3200), it would be hard to over expose the highlights. Rodinal has the reputation of being a 'compensating like developer' so highlights should be easy to control by reducing the 'stand development' time.

Here is a woman that does stand development with Rodinal also using TriX (and other films). She is not pushing but she sure gets great results:
