Response to underexpose ilford pan 100

from Marc Leest (classicphoto@leest.net)
quote: but what happens on a bright sunny day? when there is more shadows on one side and it is too white on other parts? /quote;

Expose for the shadows - what not is recorded on a negative cannot be printed. - The situation you give is a clear example - Develop for the highlight. In a contrasty scene as you describe you must reduce contrast. This is done by reducing development about 15%.

So: expose 1/2 to 1 stop over but reduce development with 15%. For warmtone prints use Ilford Multigrade Warmtone developed in Agfa Neutol WA. Good luck.
