Actually I think that apparent grain is from scanning, sharpening and resizing print size files for the web. I have been experimenting with some new sharpening, but what works well for colour is proving bad for these BWs. I keep relearning that lesson. I'll repost some and you can compare. The developer is dilute XTOL, underdeveloping too for easier scanning. But it's true my negs are denser than the samples you sent me. Scanned they give a full tonal range, although they usually need darkening consistently too. Yours look quite thin to my eye. Cheers Geoff -----Original Message----- Subject: RE: [Leica] IMG: Tasmania, historical site photos Hi Hoppy, The pictures are very good, the only remark is IMO on the B&W developping, IMO they show more grain then normal, too much temperature?, time?. Also the contrast seems that agitation has been maybe too much...., or you have used a contrasted gariny developper as HC-110?

This was a penal colony in the period 1830's to 1870's. It fell into ruin and partial destruction. Later it was decided to preserve it as a worthy historical site. <http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/92939173> As always, comments and critiques are appreciated.
