Pushing HP5 Plus In Spartanburg

Push it, push it, to the limit, limit....
Let's talk about the mechanics of push processing film and how it actually creates additional contrast. Then we'll take a look at some examples of HP5+ pushed two stops.

This is one of the best explanations I have ever heard for what push processing actually does and why it creates more contrast on a scientific level. Keep up the great work!

It's better to develop black&white film yourself. All colorfilm has a standard development process, but black&white hasn't. All have their own development times and some film doesn't work well with some developers. A big chance that your lab developes all black&white film the same way and that may not be the best for your film. Developing yourself gives you a lot more control over the end product.

I definitely agree, but developing myself just isn't something I'm interested in doing right now. When I eventually make the jump it'll probably be exclusively for black and white though.
