Hehe, my wife works at a hospital, 07:00 to 19:00, and I have
quite a lenient Job in that, as long as the work gets done, showing up
at 10:00 every now and then is not a problem.
So between 06:30 and 10:00, a lot can be done, especially in quite
scenic surroundings, and with a "mission" to test a new film.
I'll print some of the negatives tomorrow. With regards to the Delta
100 "look",
it's what I can only describe as more linear and accurate, more
digital-like, so technically better on most fronts, but a bit weaker
dynamic range.
Surely, as a lover of the tradional FP4 and HP5 film, you must
have noticed the "punchier", less "linear" / "rounder" (my goodness,
I am starting to sound like a wine taster...) rendering? This usually
comes at the cost of worse grain. Still, both (and especially FP4) has
also been my go-to film, but I promised myself, after getting to know
them
over two years, to try something else.
Anyway, it's just the feeling I get looking at the images. Of course,
in digital
post processing, Delta 100 images can be dramatically altered, unlike
what I
can do with my fledgeling darkroom skills. In addition to the
Fomapan, I bought one or two rolls of Delta 100 as well, so I'll either
post some samples sometime, or decide that I was wrong :-)
Pan F is just... "Delicate" (Marilyn Monroe voice).
