Frame 09

Pentacon Six TL w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm f/2.8 and Kodak Tri-X @ EI 800 (Kodak Xtol 1:0, Ilford rapid fixer). f/4, 1/60s. Epson V600 and EpsonScan @ 4800 dpi, downsized to 2400 dpi. Retouched and cropped.

I got a bit lucky to shoot with this particular model. She only did two shoots during her short stay in Sweden. She had just walked London Fashion week and was about to fly back to Hong Kong.

With a super-experienced model like this you really eat through the film like crazy. Although the medium format photos didn't turn out to be the best, it made her slow down her pace.

The light was really disappointing. It was what we in Swedish call "gråmulet" (compact grey cloody weather). So the only way to create contrast and shades in the image was to place the model near a street light. Thank goodness I wasn't shooting colour!

This was the first time I pushed Tri-X to 800. I had developed two batched of TMax400 in the same developer, so at 22.0 degrees it turned out to be 7m45s. I calculated the developing time by doing an average of the times for EI 400 and EI 1600, that is 6m45s, and then adding the apporpriate compensation (+15%) for reusing the developer. All in all, 7m45s.
