But it isn't the processing, it's me doing my editing when I should have been asleep. :-) In my zeal to avoid blowing out the boy's shirt, I left the whites a bit too gray. Do note though, that it is an available light picture shot in pretty dim conditions. Shot from Ted Grant's Famous Shadow Side (TM). Reposted, it should be better now. http://www2.2alpha.com/~pklein/StLouis/4-29DanRach.htm The original, for comparison http://www2.2alpha.com/~pklein/StLouis/4-29DanRach0.jpg The film was Tri-X, the processing courtesy of Ballard Camera here in Seattle. They actually develop B&W by hand in Xtol 1:1, then run you proof prints through the color printing machine (and they're really black and white, not Sepia-Green or Murky Magenta). - --Peter Robert Meier wrote: >Very cute kids.
