A weird discovery

Hello


The last time shooting I was trying to blur some moving people so I stopped down the lens, but the times were still too fast.
So I decided to overexpose the film for two stops.
I was shooting trix @ 200, so I exposed it @50 and developed in ddx 1:4 at my normal iso200 time 6,30 min.

When I looked at the negs I couldn't believe my eyes, because the four shots I took @50 looked almost the same as the rest taken @ 200. (no blocked highlights, as expected)

I always knew that b/w film doesn't mind overexposure, but three stops and they were easy printable.

That is really a relief for meterless shooting.

Just wanted to share

Fabian
