Sup /p/,

/r/ a tutorial or instruction on how to get a "high dynamic range" effect using ONLY darkroom photography. No photoshop.

I've tried google and several art websites already. No luck.

Pic related, because it's the effect I'm trying to imitate.

you'd have to spend a fuckload of time making a a few masks to expose the paper with one negative for the darks, one for the midtones, and one for the highlights.

But I'd also bracket the hell out of the exposure using some really fine grain film (too bad they don't make techpan anymore). Slow multigrade paper, something that won't go reciprocal too quickly, is probably key. Then laying out a hell of a complex exposure plan to pick out a combination of negatives and filters in selective exposure that will get both fine grain and that chunky contrast that people seem to like about hdr.

A very complex series of custom graduated ND filters might help you pull it off. For OP image you'd only need three masks, really (sky, ground, car).

hmmm.. if you had access to a cnc router, you could digitize the picture and create the masks in the computer, then have the router create the masks in a piece of black plastic..

Ah well just change the gamma when you process your b+w remember over expose and under develop? so instead of the 'normal' 7 stops range you can have 12 or what ever you want as long as you put your 'n' normal exposure in the right place.So first spotmeter the scene to find out what white is and what black is and fit them on the characteristic curve so your highlights will be DMin and your shadows will be DMax when you print.

Google "Split filter printing" also known as split grade printing.
