Hey there /p/ I'm a little new to photography (in terms of actually being aware of the processes). Ever since the start of my photography class this last school year I've been taking decent photos - not great, mind you, but decent. I've been using an old film Pentax camera and have been developing and printing my own negatives / prints.So far everything is going great.What I want to do now is start expanding on my repertoire of techniques. In particular, I'd like to know how to get something similar to this Jeremy Cowart photo. It's gritty and texturey. Sort of washed out and contrasty at the same time.I'd love to be able to capture something similar. Just wondering if there are any tricks to such an image. Thanks, /p/!=)
>>202919use some iso 3200 film
>>202924The faster the film, the less contrast you will get on your neg.This is more a darkroom printing technique (increasing the grade of your paper or filterset) while using slow film to still capture all the detail.
>>202929What number filter would you suggest for something like this? Highest I've gotten around to using was a #3 filter.
I did a high contrast project in my photo class a couple of years ago.... there is a trick you can do by using say... 400 iso but telling your camera that it is 800.. then doubling the film processing time... I think that's how it was but I'd have to look it up...
>>202941Sounds interesting. If you could look it up, I'd really appreciate it. =P
