Joel,
Thanks for your comment.
Yup, the pictures are still contrasty since the weather was sunny but I
thought the contrast will go to horrible if I didn't control the temperature
during development. I never try to print picture with Double-X film in dark
room & no idea for the details of shadow of such film but many comments said
the DR of Double-X is much higher than other B&W films, I have expectation.
For the two men pictures, yes, the exposure is incorrect since their skin
color are too dark & I didn't notice. It's an experience to learn to observe
every details when shooting.
