6400 iso

This photo was taken using a Minolta Maxxum 7 with a Minolta 50mm 1.4 lens.

The film used was Kodak Tri-X 400 exposed at 6400 ISO/ASA. I then developed the film using Stand development in Rodinal 1:100 for 2 hours.

Basically 'stand' developing is when you develop the film, you only do the initial agitation (first 60 seconds) then leave it alone until the time is up, in this case I let it stand for 2 hours. You also normally use a very dilute developer. Rodinal is most commonly used diluted 1+25, 1+50.

The purpose of this role of film was to shoot at 6400 ISO and stand develop the film to see what I would get - if anything. The only lighting was from a street light. 1/8th of a second at F1.4 hand held.

I was quite pleased with the resulting images even though they were quite contrasty.
