This was actually very informative. Nothing new of course but you presented it really well Well done

[yesteryear]

Honestly, that’s the first time I’ve really understood both the point and the technique. Thanks for all the examples.

[hifienthusiast]

Im a fan of B/W images looking B/W, not a fan of grey images that look like old newspaper prints. This is what I needed, thanks!

My art journey started as a kid copying comics with pencil. The contrast is everything. Caravaggio.

[Stephen.C.]

Well presented. Thanks, and nice to see the old Chinon CS working well. I had one back in the 70s and couldnt fault it at the time.

[Paul-vvun]

Great video, thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm a bit fan of contrary images, and going to try pushing film 1 stop for my next dev at my shared darkroom

I pushed film while working as a photographer in the Army. You know when you have to get that shot. I also liked it because I could get a fast enough shutter speed and depth of field so I didn’t need to use a flash. I natural lighting was so much better.

[John-jlky]

It's always nice to see the buildings and Street scenes around your parts, they're a little different than Indiana. I appreciate the knowledge your sharing, I pick up things here and there.

[danem]

I took your advice and pushed Acros to 400 with an orange filter. Loved the results I got with some old train cars and locos as my subjects.

It has been raining nonstop in the US (Georgia), too!

[tgchism]

Loads of information and explanation! Thank you!

[Mark-elsb]

Nice explanation of the pushing process!

[mueslimuncher]

Good stuff as usual. I've seldum resorted to pushing film, but this is food for thought. Dull days are all too common here in Glasgow. With a medium format folder I could get some punchy street scenes, and the extra grain would be negligible. It might even add some atmosphere!

[captaindebug]

Best explanation of pushing film that I've seen....

[FerrisThomas]

Great explanation, Roger! Keep on keepin' on.

[neilmartin]

Very helpful and informative. Made it clear to me how to push film and the effects. Great for those of us who are returning to film and developing stuff. Cheers

[steven]

Was interesting seeing the difference in the highlights and the shadows. I didn't really think much about how it treater tham differently before.

[amosk]

Great job, Boss. I remember you suggested I shoot at box speed and overdevelop with my cloudy Seattle weather. Cheers!

[billhackley]

you've convinced me to try it on my next shoot thank you for the outstanding information

[ManCalledMif]

Thank you for explaining this so clearly
