ephraim Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm shooting a thriller at night, in a forest pretty soon. The director wants to do a bleach bypass to get more contrast. What, if any, would be the differences in shooting vision 2 500T as opposed to just shooting vision 500T. Would it even be worth shooting vision 2 if you're going to take away much of that latitude anyway in processing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing to do is test. Start with a bench test neg. then do a printed blk. neg and go to an exp. calibration which will provide the working speed that will allow you to judge the exposure needed to represent the values photographed as normal tones on the final print.when the print is made using the recomended density arrived at during the 1st two parts of these tests.You determine the amount of light that will be required to properly photograph a mid-gray tone when the neg. is printedto the benchmark density.
