I am bummed by my development. Colors are no where near how I seen them.

Even though it's not what you saw I still love the colors in this one.....

Thanks bud, that is very encouraging for me. I was very distraught. I suppose there may be a balance.

Not bad. Why, why you need to push it ?

No need. Logging results from experimenting. I never pushed before. My goal was to visualize differences as I normally shoot film speed at camera. I am very new to this so I am trying to gain an understanding. I shot 3 short rolls pushing and pulling, using different speeds, following exposure charts. I am trying to mirror what I see as art, albeit art is not my goal here. More what the emulsion delivers to what i want to see. My goal is to control and produce a result based on my limited knowledge level (apparent).

Try also different temperatures, especially higher ones.

So I have been at 68°, what do you suggest and what could I expect. My guess is higher contrast, less detail in shadows?

You know, I looked at them on my calibrated monitor last night and I feel good. I initially was looking at them on crappy monitor at work. What a difference. That's a relief.

Part of the charm (and heartbreak) of film is the mystery following the shutter release.

• Was it as good as I hoped it would be?
• Did I get the exposure right?
• Is the composition right?

You just can't know until the roll is developed. A true exercise in delayed gratification. Such the rarity in this 21st century!

I never did this with D76 but little higher contrast possibly. Details in the shadows should be well define and grain kept small. HC 110 was always recommended in higher temperatures for T-grain. My experience is with metol/glycin, low sodium sulfite, high pH developer and Acros 100. The synopsis of higher development temperature are somewhat better separation of values, crispier image, good sharpness due to minimal swelling of the emulsion.

I don't think D-76 is an optimum developer for pushing. Try HC110 and/or Rodinal (I found Rodinal too grainy for pushing .. you may have a different opinion.)

Canon AE-1, 50mm Macro lens. Not sure on the aperture or shutter settings. I know it was a faster shutter and low number f stop as I didnt have my tripod with me and couldnt risk camera shake. The macro lens has a very shallow DOF already and the low number f stop made it worse so the near side of the exoskeleton is out of focus. I think it still looks cool.......
