Watermill (delta 3200)

[Paul Lange]

Another from the watermill but shot with a Fuji medium format rangefinder loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 pulled to 1600ISO. This was developed in ID-11. There should be quite a bit more grain but I used some noise reduction in LR to smooth the image a bit.

Suiting you sir!

Love the reflected light illuminating the wall with the tools - beautifully done

Nice one Paul. And not an easy one to judge the exposure on either.

Did you develop it yourself, Paul? I think the Ilford 3200 is actually 1200 ISO, so I wonder if pulling it is actually necessary when it is shot at 1600?

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks guys. Brian, I did develop myself with ID11 and just used the timings on the Ilford datasheet. I've read a few times that box speeds don't tend to be the actual film speed but figured that the manufactures timings already take this into account.

but figured that the manufactures timings already take this into account.

That's what I was thinking relative to the box speed vs actual speed on the 3200 emulsion.

A lovely image done perfectly well, cheers Paul to an excellent picture.

Beautifully done Paul and puling it seems to have reduced the contrast which is just perfect of the image.

Yes, a fine image, and well controlled. Good photography.

Lovely Paul. To me it has a lovely morning feel to it. Nice amount of focus on the outside too.
