Re: Proper Exposure ( wasRe: Ricky's Kung Fu Pose)

Normal development in this case for the ISO at which it was shot. I 
would consult the film manufacturer's processing guidelines. They 
probably spec out an ISO 1600 time. If I had to guess, I'd go with D-76 
straight up for about 12 minutes at 68 degrees fahrenheit. You're 
dealing with a value well within the range of the film. It's not a deep 
shadow and it's not an extreme highlight, so special development 
wouldn't be required. However, you would have to push the film some 
since  you rated it at 1600.

And develop how ?

The Ansel rules for that combo would be to place the Indian skin at 
zone four or five, depending on how dark you wanted it to appear. You 
would then ignore everything else in the image and expose for that 
value. It's really quite simple.

Yeah sure. Last time I went through B&W stuff it was APX 400 pushed 
to 1600, lighting 1 table lamp, subject indian complexion skin. What 
are the Ansel rules for this combo ?
