Last week-end I went to Arles (France) in order to discover this city and of course visit the wonderful exhibitions..
I shot various rolls of expired Ilford HP5+, developed with T-max dev, here are some of these shots. C&C welcome!

Very nice series and interesting developer/film combination. Grainy but good detail and nice tonal range. Lens is stunning and you know how to handle it.

Very sexy series ! Especially No. 3 ! Laughing
A bit oversharpened , IMHO .

I have to say i didn't made any contrast/clarity/sharpening enhancement at all, I only worked with tone curves.

hp5 and t-max make an excellent combination. which dilution did you use? i favor 1+9 ...

I was misleaded by the grain. Stunning results !

I'm sure the grain is stronger because it's an old HP5+ roll, expired in 2001 and with unknown conditions of storage.

fish4570> I diluted it 1+4, thanks for the advice.
