Both images below are from two rolls of Tri-X that were developed by an admirable hand-development lab in Chiang Mai. Six months ago they developed films for me with no scratches, clean negatives and spot-on development. This time, however, they severely underdeveloped two rolls, to the extent that the writing "KODAK TRI-X" on the film is so light that it's barely visible. Stand development needs at least 3.5ml of Rodinal per roll in a 1:100 dilution. They developed the two rolls in a tank too small to hold the full 671ml was necessary, so that there was not enough developer in the tank.
The Lightroom histogram of the "scan" (digitalization using the Leitz BEOON copy stand/Focotar 2 lens/M-Monochrom camera) is just a sliver in the center of the x-axis: no way these frames could have been printed in the darkroom. Indeed, moving the Lightroom Black slider even 1 point had major effect of the overall brightness or darkness of the image. These two frames had to be post-processed very carefully; they are not likely to be the look that most people are seeking, but I like them.

Thanks, Gary! I suppose this is what people mean about the occasional lucky accidents and contingent aspect of film: one really screws up and ends up with what one likes!

That's a really important aspect to shooting film Mitch, it all boils down to one's process and when you're in full control of everything you can tweak the development to attain new looks. However, when one relies on a lab (as you have, and as I do) then we are at their mercy! It's nice to see that you were able to recover the frames despite the mishap!

This time the stand development was fine, not underdeveloped.
Below is a picture that I particularly like. It may look posed, but it isn't. As I was walking along, I passed by the young man at noon in a small side street, sitting along a wall, on a 150cc motorbike smoking and pensive or troubled. I turned around, walked back to the small lane and took his picture. Had he noticed me, he would have looked up and there would have been no shot.
