Underexposed & Overdeveloped

[2WK]

I accidentally shot a roll of neopan 400 @ 100. I then over-developed to 800 iso to try to compensate. The results were very contrasty and blown out, but I was still happy with the results since I thought it would turn out much worse.

You mean overexposed (just a bit, one stop) and overdeveloped... With normal development it would have been close to perfect... But to compensate you should have developed for a shorter time than normal... Developing @800 means developing for a lot of time because you gave film little light...

Anyway, as the film was well exposed, you should have rich shadows and separated tonal range with blown highlights, and that looks fine for lots of situations... Unless you had brides in white, it's fine... That's pretty common in fashion too for color film: overexposing and overdeveloping... A nice bump in contrast without the black shadows push look...

The link doesn't work, by the way...

Cheers,

2. Yukio Mishima. Way ahead of his time as a photographer. His multiple exposures look like crazy photoshops.
