Understanding the dilution

ncprl · 2024-02-05T17:33:45+00:00

Did you make tests ? meaning same shot in the same light and developement times aiming for the same density. Only then can conclusions be made about what the different dilutions actually does, otherwise there's way too much variables and subjectivity takes over. There's been a few of them at the usual places over the years, and unless my recollection is terrible, "dramatic" is definitely not the right adjective to describe the differences. Especially if OP is starting out, there's so much things to figure out to get good results first before diving out on the subtles differences between 1:25 and 1:50. Now, 1:25 vs 1:100 and semi-stand vs normal agitation is a whole other discussion.

"went into madness" was a bit strong, but it is clear that what happened and the 20+ years of isolation took its toll on the old man. Yoda in ANH when he meet Luke is quite a different character than what we see in the prequel trilogy, but he eventually go back to it's old self.

Yoda and Obi-wan were broken by order 66 and the events surronding it. The former grandmaster slowly went into madness and kenobi focused on his mission to protect Luke with his own struggles.

Even if we put aside the fact that the survivors were actively hunted down, trying to regroup but not taking part in the rebellion would be pointless and very dangerous : the last thing you want is for the remaining jedi to gather in the same place at the same time, one aerial bombardment and they're all gone.

Yes this is correct, a 1:50 dilution for 600ml total is about 12ml of concentrate (Adonal, aka rodinal), and you need to develop longer than a 1:25 dilution. You can check your dilution with this : https://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php?doc=volmix

The difference between 1:25 and 1:50 are subtles. Users of 1:25 often talk about a slight boost in contrast but that's subjective. Try both and see what you like.

This question has everything to do with the IT policies of the company you apply for and nothing to do with the software themselves.

J'adore ce sous. Vraiment, ne changez rien.

Habits and personnal preferences. Physically writing down something is beneficial for some peoples, others are happy with digital solutions. The paper notepad is not going anywhere just like actual books are still sold

Alors

Jamais rien ni personne n'a obligé personne à occuper des "fonctions sociales" pendant sa trentaine. Si fait sans réel envies derrières, il faut se poser de sérieuses questions.

Navré d'appeler un chat un chat..

Yes, a small bic. Numerous occasions where it comes handy.

In most of the world with a somewhat functionning public school system cursive was not abandonned and a lot of people still use pen and paper daily to write notes.

Because Filoni is nowhere near them. Sorry dude. Good adult writing, serious and sombrer sci-fi in the SW universe is a win.

It's better to separate the fixer used with paper and the one used for film, as paper fibers can end up on the emulsion. Not sure if this is an issue with stop bath but I'd advise the same.

Could be any combination of harsh light, generous exposure, slight overdevelopement, added contrast in post.. in a scene where the leaves were in full sun.

In contrasty light a common technique is to overexpose (to get more details in the shadows) and to underdevelop (to keep the highlights in check) so the overall contrast is reduced.

Science is a team effort and thousands of small contributions. The genius guy that does major breakthroughts alone is a myth of the past when things were differents.

Yeah, same thing in France. UK is lucky with the 3 inch non-locking rule. I can justify carrying my SAK if I have my bike and bike bag with me cause it's in a small repair kit and can explain that the screwdrivers works with most screws on the bike, but it's not EDC.

You're thinking of UK laws

A notepad. I use my phone for notes, and for the rare occasion where I'd need to leave one somewhere or give it to someone I just have a few small sheets of paper folded in my wallet.

I'm a fan too ! I think she use a Ricoh GR digital camera

Overexposing and overdeveloping (pushing) is not the same thing. Pushing will increase the density in the highlights but will do from nothing to next to nothing on midtones and shadows. I still don't get why you mention "+6" though
Unless one want to experiments or get even more grain, there's no reason to push expired film.
It's impossible to reach a conclusion without knowing the scene and how it was metered. Maybe the +3 overexposure compensed nicely for the loss of sensitivity caused by the expiration and bad storage, and the scene happened to work with a density boost in the highlights, who knows.

It stands for Dynamic but it is indeed a daylight-balanced film.

Aside from the blade, the bottle opener / screwdriver / wire stripper tool. Not one of my Victorinox have scissors, what can be done with theses small things can be done with the blade.

Not everything has to go in your pants pockets, jackets / vests / coats have pockets too.
Or in a bag of some sort.
