However, it doesn't appear to have had much affect. I.e., the tones do not appear as separated as I'm accustomed to with the use of a red filter. Did I miss something? Good shot by the way. I was just wondering about the filter. > > Frank > > http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/14_2003 ================================================================== Hi Frank, Others have commented on the lack of effect I seem to get when I use a red filter. I am baffled why I don't get the really dark areas in the sky that are normally the result of red filtration. For some reason, possibly my scanner, I have to use red to get the effect I would normally associate orange or even yellow. The negs have a pretty dramatic look in the sky but it doesn't make it through the scanner (HP S20). I develop the Tri X in D76 stock for 8 minutes at 20c. As I am not after the normal red filter look I have not tried anything to make it more pronounced but like I said, it is puzzling. Thanks for looking. - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
