No one is talking about Photoshop, or retouching.
You like printing, so i'll do an analogie : digitalising B&W picture to create a RGB file is like printing B&W picture with color paper and chemistry. Your print won't be only B&W but can have some Yellow / green / pink / magenta tint due to the light used.
Now with digital, it's just saying B&W picture should only be in Greyscale file, so there will be only B&W and no color. SO my advice is juste do "desaturate" and that's it.
all this was a friendly advice. That's it. Now, to me, (no offense here), you don't seem to be wanting to at least listen to other. That, said, your picture are nice.

Sorry to interupt in this drama, but Cuthbert, you may have misread what was Tuco's point. If i may developpe Tuco saying (which was, to be exact)
The point of Tuco was just saying that when the lab scanned your BW film, they created a Red / Green / Blue file instead of a Greyscale one.
It's a good remark, because by creating a RGB file, instead of a Greyscale one, the file can have some unwanted tint. In our case, your file have a pink tone in the first picture, and a green one in the last.
Tuco was just suggesting that transforming those RGB file into Greyscale, you can get ride of this unwanted tint (he and I guessed it's unwanted).
I take the liberty here to add, that getting ride off that tint will improve the viewing of the picture : we would'nt be distracted by this pink / green cast, and we could focus more on the quality of the picture, and the subject.
Now, if we put aside this color cast parts, well, i agree on this one :)

fp4 is like TriX : grainy :)
If you want i can say you are a sucker that totally fukced up like a dumb a** the processing, if it's what you want to read. Otherwise maybe it's the scanner :lol:

the Delta product have finer grain, and with the same chemicals and processing (in specialized shop), have a bigger dynamic range.
I wouldn't say that FP4+ is soft, grain is bigger and this can reduce the felling of sharpness.
show us an example !

Christmas, in 10 months ?? Yes, everything is open, during december, almost every shop is open 7/7 days, at least in Paris.
Paris for Christmas is nice, even though it gives a feeling that everyone is always running everywhere.
I suggest you to book as early as possible to keep the price as low as possible, because for christmas, price usually goes sky high in hotels.
I knew the Tmax was newer than TriX, but i didn't realize the difference was that much pronounced. Sad for Kodak but i prefer the result of the Delta 400 when pushed ;) the grain is finer and the the lesser contrast allow better scanning and recovery (Ok, that's cheating !). However i don't regret to have tried 3 rolls of each. it was a great first start with Kodak B&W film.
On the other side, nothing beats the Portra for me at that moment : i love the saturation, color, rendition.
So Ilford for B&W and Kodak for color. Sounds fair to me :lol:
On this one, i cheated and ask the lab :) the picture where too important to fail the processing. there was some picture i knew would be too perfect to 'd up somewhere.
This one for exemple : Pentax Super A / DA*55 @1.7 or 2 ? / Tmax 400@3200 |

thanks ! it's quite hard to focus well on december 31 after many beers :lol:
never tried it, but if it is as good as the Delta 400, then it should be awesome !
The picture is nice, a great grey tonality. Pushing the 400 increase quite much the contrast.

i have just scan some Tmax 400 @3200 and the result is far better ! I think TriX is like HP5+ : good but don't push it :)
unfortunately the Google processing is not very good and always produce some marks in the black >:( |

i've made exactly like Kodak said : 5 to 7 (i always did 7) agitation in 5 sec every 30 sec, for 9 1/4 @ 19°C . Stop bath for 1 min, continuous agitation, 10 min fixation same agitation as developper.
i think i won't take TriX for any pushing process in the future, i found it too grainy (i've always used Delta 400 @1600 and 3200, which is soooo perfect i think.)

Whoa ! A graflex ! Not exactly a recent camera :D
the results look promising ! i'd love to try such an oldie but here they are so expensive :( i have hope that i'll adopt one one day (someone said LBA ?) :lol:
My second roll of TriX 400 @1600 home processed. Didn't liked the size reduction, far less grainy in big size ... |

Thanks ! I agree, it's nice to do it.
i'm still learning, and experimenting but i love the thinking it require to adjust chemicals/times to get what you want.
And it's a good oportunity to try new films :D
i did my second roll of TriX @1600, it's drying in the shower (the most dust free place of my flat in fact !) but here is a trailer :lol:
Pentax K-x, Vivitar S1 V1 70-210 @3.5, 1/125, 100 iso, flash AF 280 @11GN

i thought i had some left, but in fact it wasn't the case ;) so i used running water, and here water is very (dunno the right word) calcareous /chalky ? it left some trace that disapear whant i "caress" it with my lab gloves.
at the end of the week, i'll do some extensive processing with some Tmax and TriX all pushed.
really ?!! i always thought (wrongly) it was bigger than that !

Hiking with a 6x7 : that's what i call motivation !
Phil : the use of orange filter is what give you grey sky, right ?
My first home developped roll :) TriX400 @1600, Super A and DA*55
yeah, i had some water drops on the film when it dried ;)

according to this attempt i'd say that your developping method is perfect and the flaws comes from the holga at 100% !
i agree ! that's incredible to know it was shot few days ago !
