[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I used to work for a commercial photographer (Barney Hillerman, older brother of Tony Hillerman) here in Oklahoma City (about 20+ years ago) who used the following: HC110 replensher diluted 1 part to 15 of water 5 min at 75 degree F Agitate first 30 sec., agitate for 30 sec mid-way TRI-X rated at 4000 ASA He used it to shoot pee-wee football (small kids, USA style football) and basketball night games. We would then print 2x3 foot posters. The contrast was low, grain noticible, but tight. (sometimes, we would print the poster slightly out of focus, and then they were grainless!) He used a Canon FTB with 135mm f 1.8 at 60th or 125th/sec. (Unrepentant, he believed Leica and Nikon were over-rated and over-priced, and preferred Contax and Canon.) He found the formula somewhere, but couldn't remember the source. Anyone have a name or source?
