Great video! We used to often shoot HP5 at 3200 ISO, and even at 6400 ISO. The one trick, which I don't often hear people talking about so perhaps it isn't that common, is that when pushing HP5 we would always break up the development time using water baths. Those baths would help increase development in the shadows without over processing in the highlights.

@@christophercaballero9473 Not for the faint hearted as it really extends your processing time. Used to use Ilfotec HC developer as it tended to work better when pushing. Lets assume the normal processing time for HP5 with Ilfotec HC @ 1:31 dilution was 8.5 minutes. We would add 50% developing time for every stop we pushed the film. So, if we pushed it to 3200 our new developing time would be about 28 minutes. We would then break it down into shorter equal parts - in this case 4 lots of 7 minutes. We would develop the film for the first 7 minutes and when done pour out the developer (save it - don't throw away), and pour in plain water (water bath). Tap the side of the tank to remove air bubbles, and let it sit for 5 minutes (no agitation). When the 5 minutes is up we would pour out the water bath (saving it), and pour the developer back in and do the next 7 minutes. In the example above this would be repeated 4 times. The purpose of the water baths is to increase the detail in the shadows. It probably isn't worth the effort if only pushing 1 stop, but it definitely helped when going to 3200 or 6400. I hope that makes sense - It has been about 20 years since I last did it so I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

pushing hp5 to 1600 really bring out the DETAIL in mid-tone area , even in highlight. Thx matt, gonna try this!

EXCELLENT ! I love this.. I was uncertain to shoot for the first time film pushed to 1600. It;s very clear explanation. THANK YOU !!!!

Beautiful shots Matt! I especially enjoyed the photo of your dog looking out the window :) . Really love your channel. Keep up the great work!

Great video. Very informative. Makes me want to try pushing the old HP5. There's a lot of love in your work. Well done.

Process or "behind the scenes" videos that show the final product are always appreciated. The first video I saw was your video on pushing film where you take portraits of Molly, it's rare to see a video that edits in the finished pictures as they're being taken, and it's probably my favourite thing about your channel. It makes it way easier to learn things when you can see the results like that as opposed to showing no results images or leaving them until the end. Definitely keep up these kind of videos where you sit and talk through a bunch of images with some process stuff in there! Also congratulations and good luck for the impending birth dude!

Hi Matt! I must say that your photos have a really great look, very much to my taste. I'd love to see what you could do with hp5+ and caffenol! I've just started using it in stand and normal style process and it's really amazing. Some of the smoothest hp5 tones I've personally seen.

This was well done! I'm leaning toward HP5 @1600 as my B&W film and Ektachrome E100 for my colour.

Great video Matt!

I've just bought my first SLR off eBay, a Canon EOS 5 which I believe is very similar to the 5D series I'm used to. I bought some Ilford FP4 as my first film as I believe it's one of the easier multi purpose films to use. You video is amazing and your shots are fantastic and demonstrate your lifestyle really well, love the one of your brother backlit, your father sandblasting and the Rembrandt/closed loop one of your friend. And I would buy your second photo of the boots, brilliantly composed and the type quirky subject those of us who teenagers in the 70s remember on posters. I have so much to learn, but it's a journey I'm really looking forward to. However, to start with I'll learn the camera before I start developing. Thank you very much for your video, I think I will go more to the slightly grainy photos because I work so hard avoiding it when using digital. But as I said earlier I need to learn to walk before I run.

Great photos and explanations!

Thank you so much! Much needed info.

Hey Matt, great great episode! Liked and shared. I would enjoy seeing you do this same type of video for different films and developers. I've been pushing hp5 to 800 in HC-110, and enjoyed it. My grain actually looks like your 1600 grain. I am probably doing something wrong though. I just started developing a few months ago. I am going to turn the ISO dial to 1600 on my M6 and load a fresh roll of film tomorrow :) Oh, and nice pictures man!

I think it's difficult to judge anything with only one use. More than likely your problems lies with a short developing times. Remember expose for shadows and develop for highlights. I've used DDX multiple times and I've never had a problem with contrast, but you're right there is a tighter grain.

Thanks for the info.

Loving that hair cut 👌

That's really way cool your Dad does grave stone engraving. I thought it was always done in a shop, kind of like a printing shop. It makes perfect since if the stone needs to be updated you do it there on site rather then removing the stone to a different location. Oh, by the way, I love pushing HP5+ over Tri-X.

Great vid, got yourself a new subscriber!

I'm amazed you can focus so accurately at close range with the voigtlander 35mm at F1.4, I have the 50mm 1.5 and it tends to front focus at widest aperture and at relatively close range (1.5m). It's one of the reasons why I hardly use it, that and the fact that 35mm is just the ideal lens for the M6 !

@mattdayphoto

Bjorn Comhaire It can be a challenge when shooting a moving subject, that's for sure. The 35mm focal length is a perfect match for a Leica, in my opinion.

Fantastic video. I'm in the middle of a roll of ilford HP5 400 pushed to 1600. I'm thinking of doing the same with Ilford Delta 400 to 1600 or 3200.

Good information. Bring on the grain.

You'll have to come here to Australia and get some amazing B/W photos.

great video ! Maybe a video on how you shot and metered and then they way you developed it as well! the gain is amazing. I'm looking to switch to hp5 from tri-x as well but have to do some test since i shoot the zone system.

Honestly I like all the video that concern film, probably because I am like a kids that like dinosaur , things close to extinction.. Seriously I think film photography is one of the few topics related photography that I still likes because gave me the feeling that there is something "manual", something craftsmanship and this is for me valuable. So thanks again for your movie and I wish one day you will discuss the Ektar 100 (if you like colors) or Ilford Delta Pro 100 that I used for long time and with happiness.

Thank you for sharing that video :). I am still unsure about which developer I want to use... I am currently accumulating all that gear to get it done :). I just bought the DD-X developer, because I was too scared to push HP5 to 1600 to get far too much grain in my shots...

just pushed hp5 to 1600 for the first time using Microphen developer. Wow, what i difference, contrasty negatives. It was a bit hard to print due to high contrast but i tried split contrast printing and managed to get extra good photos, i am impressed, What suprised me too is that there was not much grain, in 35mm.

Hey, Thanks for the video ! I have an FM2 as well, I'd like to push some films as well, but as I don't develop myself, i'm not sure to get the results I want. When shooting pushed film, do you trust the lightmeter ? Do you stick to the O, or do you underexpose or overexpose a bit ? (-O, 0+) ? Thank you for you answer Cheers from France
