Hi Ira,

In addition to Steve's trick, I did a project once where I played around with the processing time for the print as well. I successfully demonstrated that between the processing of the negative and the print you could use differing times for each and still end up with a similar looking print (within limits of course).This took an enormous amount of trial and error!!
It follows that even minute variations in exposure, time, light between two negatives ..and differences in print exposure and developing time (and paper type) can give totally different results.

Anyone who has pulled stills out of a video or 8mm will tell you that subtle, perhaps 'unseen' lighting changes between frames also create wild differences.

I love photo interpretation on a "what's THAT and what size is it" basis, but I wouldn't even try my hand at colours from B&W.

regards

Darryl
