Pushing Tri-x in Rodinal - my humble try

[pedro.m.reis]

After the thread of trix-x @3200 by dcsang, i got an unstoppable urge to test it also 🙂 🙂. So i went one night with my Yashica Lynx 14 to popular bar zone in Lisbon and took some photos.
I developed it in Rodinal. Most of the photos were a bit unusable, but here are 3 that we can see what was photographed ... almost 🙂 🙂

I had the same issue using the 12,800 Pedro 🙂

I think a couple more rolls and I will be better at it. The spot lights (i.e. street lights, or such) really play a lot on the meter (if you have an in camera center weighted meter). It just takes some getting used to 🙂

Good stuff 🙂

Great stuff! I have always liked avaiable light photos. These are well done. Great contrast and "zone" attributes. Does that make sense? Anyway, I like them.

Fine work! I'd like to see more of that mojito bar, more of those people on the street...

About the exposure, my Yashica has is metter not working... but it doesent has 3200 settings also. So i did all the mettering with an Weston IV i bought 2nd hand on eBay..

Pedro, for 3200 these look quite good. Were the other frames on the roll over or under exposed?

Under exposed i think, since i cant see nothing on them 🙂
The neg aome almost totaly transparent..

That's certainly an understated definition of 'underexposed' 😀

Zone as in Ansel Adams zone? I realy dont know 🙂 I've begun reading "the negative" but havent got the time to try his tecnics.

I'm having a hard time envisioning portly old Ansel, roaming those streets, thinking about Rodinal at 3200 🙄

But if Ansel ever went there you can bet no one would have tried to rip his 8X10 view camera off his neckstrap.
