Re: PESO - Portrait of Tina

[Graywolf]

I find all the comments about 6o minutes in Rodinal 1:100 interesting because it 
is a fairly common stand (no agitation) development method. It supposedly 
increases acuteness and decreases contrast by allowing the developer to exhaust 
itself in the shadow areas and continue developing in the highlight areas.

Note to WR about exhausting the developer: remember he was shooting 120 film 
that means he had twice the volume of developer to surface area compared to 135 
in a single reel tank. I mentioned single reel tank because you can of course 
use a 120 tank with a one loaded and one empty reel to do the same thing with 135.

Hi Fred
Like everyone else I think it is a fine portrait of a very pretty woman. The
one thing I did notice was the slight "raccoon eyes". I don't know how much
of that was lighting or could be corrected before tripping the shutter. I
also have a question on 60 minutes in Rodinal. As increased wet time usually
means increased grain, were you going for a grainy look?
