a few more along my 4x5" journey! Tri-X 320 with a deep red + circular polarizer filter.
I'm also developing longer (10 minutes) with a lighter mixture of developer than before. (1:31 instead of 1:7) Mostly to conserve on the HC110, I'm sure the change in development has affected the tones somehow, but I haven't been at it long enough to tell the difference. Not to mention these were shot in fairly harsh light with filters. Both of which change things up a bit :)
Daniel, out of the series # 1 & # 2 stand out in my mind the best of the group, with # 2 the best overall IMO. As I have not done B&W in over 40 years, I really cannot give any technical suggestions, I can only supply my visual observation to these fine images.

The black sky doesn't get it for me, the polarizer and red filter are too much. Although, I like the subject matter.
