Eye Patch

dave beckerman photography
I've been standing on the corner of 2nd and 83rd photographing passersby, or high contrast scenes - experimenting again with the film. This fellow was unloading produce for a nearby Italian restaurant and agreed to let me photograph him and yes - the experiments are over.

This was with TMY @ 300 ASA; 5 minutes @ 75F with TMAX developer (1:4) Hopefully that will be my new "standard." It seems to work fine in bright sunlight/shadow and, so long as I expose for shadow areas - works well in flatter scenes. This is from a straight neg. scan without any adjustments. More to follow...

Looking really good - and, of course, I'd love to see a good-sized print ("good-sized" being somewhat subjective here, but since we're on the same wavelength regarding printer format...).

I do think your recent images look better than the digital images, maybe the dynamic range - mainly just much greater depth.

Not that I'm gonna be jumping with you!
