I'm very much enjoying the BTZS way. So much so i'm actually taking photographs again, however I believe my negs are either underdeveloped or I have made a mistake metering.
The negatives are very even in density in that there are no blocked highlights but all negs seem to be low in contrast. The shadow areas are very well exposed but probably at the expense of image contrast.
To get a print that represents the type of contrast I had hoped for I need to use a grade higher paper.
I am very new to this system but can certainly appreciate the advantages already for me as a photographer.
[1] As the development times seem locked to the original tests based on meter readings taken in the field is there any way to compensate development time if it appears to be uniformly low? If I increase my development temperature is that effect uniform over the times for development?
[2]If I am metering the shadow too deeply will that cause, or can it contribute to what I am seeing?
