[Frameworks] Increasing Contrast

[Mark Toscano]

Spectra in Burbank sells 100ft. loads, though they apparently usually enforce a 400ft. minimum processing amount.  When I bought a roll (with prepaid processing), they hadn't mentioned this to me.  Upon bringing it back, they said they usually have a 400ft. minimum, but in my case would just stick it onto the end of the next run they did, which meant I had to wait a couple of weeks.  It came out great.  

But you could also just get it from them and process it wherever.

Why underexpose, just push it. You should be able to push PlusX or

DoubleX two stops. DX will get pretty grainy, but....



Beyond 2 stops, no gain really. Actually if the lab just takes it to

0.75 or 0.8 gamma (what they define as amount of pushing depends on

their 'normal' gamma eithe0.65 or 0.7) & you be cool.



If anything I'd lean on the neg a bit - not really far over  like you

can with color negative, just get a nice density.



Shoot contrasty subject !
