A very close friend decided to get into shooting film. So I convinced him to get a 35mm camera to shoot with and told him that if he went in 50-50 on chemistry that I would teach him how to develop his film. When I was shooting film last I was experimenting with pushing film so to pick up where I left off I decided to shoot a roll of Kodak TRI-X pan 400 pushed to 3200 which is about 3 stops. For this shoot I did an indoor shoot of my kid while my fiancé was helping to transcribe several old books. During this he decided that he need to wear his Gran’s reading glasses. I was able to capture the moment he was telling everyone why he needed to wear them. The camera I used is a Nikon n90s and most likely the 80-200 f2.8. For developing I used d76 stock sol. for 25min with normal times for stop fixer and wash. The contrast that comes from pushing is amazing and the grain of TRI-X shines as well soon I will push a roll of Illford HP5 400 and see how that looks but there might be more guessing for development times.
