This was one of the most challenging lighting conditions I have ever encountered. The range of EV's was very large. There was some detail outside of this arch, but I wanted to have that area go full white to obliterate it. Each of the arches was around 1 Zone different in EV. The foreground was very low in brightness from the rest of the image. One of the greatest advantages of medium format cameras is the ability to change backs. After much metering and re-metering with the Spotmeter. I decided on using N+2 development to "blow out" that area outside. All of that pre-exposure planning paid off. I put on an A16 back that I designated N+2. The exposure was around 1/15 second with the camera on a tripod.
Hasselblad 500CM, 60mm f/3.5 CF Distagon and T-MAX 100 film. Developed in D-76 1:1 @ 68 F. The negative was scanned with my Nikon Super CoolScan LS-8000. Essentially no post processing of the image was done, only a slight bump in contrast, which is usually necessary when scanning black and white negatives.

I like higher contrast, more deep black , but I also can imagine even from white to light gray this picture, it can be good with any kind of level of gray scale.

Thanks Atilla, but I think with any higher contrast, many of the subtleties of shades would be lost, at least on a computer monitor which will always fall short of an actual printed image. Keep in mind that this is also a negative scan. The 16x20 image printed on grade 2 Oriental Seagull simply blows this image away!
