Satoshi T Awesome gradients. Did you do self development without anxiety?

Daniel Zaleski Hello, @Satoshi ! Greetings to Japan, I hope you have recovered and are doing OK. Yes, I did develop it myself. As for anxiety - yes, I am still anxious a little bit but with practice I hope to overcome this. I have to get to know well the developer / film combo and this will take some 10+ films to develop. This photo was taken on Kodak Tri-X 400 exposed (pushed) @ ISO 1250 (I should shoot it at 800 maybe next time) and developed with Diafine two part developer. I really like the results. Yesterday, I have uploaded a fresh scan from Ilford HP5+ and these two compared I have to say I really like the Tri-X more. I will try HP5+ in the future (only for portraits)

Daniel Zaleski BTW: It is underexposed. I didn't try to fix it in post (due to the loss / compression of the midtones). I really really look forward to the moment I will go to the darkroom to magnify to to say 20x20cm (maybe I will "crop" it to the full format so that I do not have to cut the paper = 20x30 with the sides somehow cut (I already have cropped it in computer).
