A follow-up to my last video on shooting HP5 at night in Las Vegas. This is how I used a compensating method of development with Kodak HC110 to handle the bright light and high-contrast scenes in Las Vegas at night.

Development:
=============================
Ilford HP5 (shot at iso 160): Developed in compensating HC110
Solution A : 20ml Concentrate / 800 ml water
- Develop for 1 1/2 min: Agitate 20 inversions for the first minute - Let sit for 30 seconds
Solution B : 5ml Concentrate / 900 ml water (I mix and dump 50-100ml)
- Develop for 8 1/2 min: Agitate 10 inversions for the first 30sec - Then agitate 4 inversions every minute
Stop - Fix - Rinse - Dry as you normally would
Be amazed by your beautiful negatives :)

Really appreciate how you break things down, point to your notes, discuss how it might relate to other peoples workflow, and share the technical parts oh how it affects the film. Thanks for putting these videos out!
I gave this a go and just pulled it off the reel and POW! I’ve shot and processed a mile of HP5+ as well. This was my recent regular practice printing, don’t know why I haven’t explored it with my Mac-n-cheese film stock? These are gonna print bangers!
Great work! Thanks for this video!
Thank you! This helps a lot and totally makes sense. I am a fan of stand development for high contrast scenes. This method works especially well with low speed t-grain films. I never had problems with uneven development but I am using the big Jobo 2520 Multi Tank because of the bigger reels.
Really intersting. Have Not tried shooting bnw at Night but i definetely will. This developing method looks amazing.
Thanks for sharing your technique. Those negs look really sweet!
Great video keep up the good work!
Good video. Thank you.
I got around to shooting the exact same scene of Montreal city lights over the Lachine Canal with same camera, HP5 film, same aperture and times, and developed with regular HC-110 dilution B (roughly
Thank you.
Interesting :-) And thank you :-)
Super cool - thanks for making this. Would love to see a few comparisons of what it looks like as you vary the time/dilutions as you mentioned at the end. Also would love to know when you get this figured out for the Delta!
Cool! I've done stand dev and basic compensating dev but not a two part process. So far I've gotten very even development doing stand with Rodinal. I do 1 minute at the top, and 1 minute halfway through. At the very end of the hour I do 30 seconds more, sit for 1 minute and then drain
I might give this a try for Imagelink FS or Copex Rapid microfilms... Terry
I actually went out and bought "The Art of Photography" book which so far has been an interesting read. Looking forward to trying compensating development in the very near future.
Dear Matthew,
Thanks for the video. Very interesting!!!! I would like to use this technique with some Foma films. How did you get the times? Did you use the info in the darkroom cookbook or just proving?
Thanks, will have to try this. Your first developer is roughly
I gave this a shot and got some cool results! As far as the dilutions, will it scale down to 500ml? For my first attempt, I ended up using your original dilutions but just poured 500ml into my jobo tank.
I achieve the best results with my negatives with D76 1+3
