Wondering Photographer and Lossy Contrast in Duplicates
A photographer notes occasions when shadow areas become darker in a duplicate or internegative from a color transparency. Increasing contrast yields steady results but never matches the original, while preserving highlights may cause detail loss and altered perspective in the duplicate.
Scramble box and compensating developer aid photo work
A photographer explains building a scramble box to diffuse flash and control contrast for color and monochrome work. He details using opal glass, foil diffusion, aperture ranges for ASA films, and the role of a compensating developer in preserving highlight and shadow detail.
Photographic exposure rules as starting points for personal practice
The article argues there is no universal right exposure method due to varied cameras, materials, and conditions. It emphasizes starting with manufacturers' guidelines, then testing and adapting to individual gear and goals. Shutter, film speed, and processing differences can affect results, so photographers should study their own work and develop a personal system rather than rigidly adhering to rules.
