One frame from the Bronica S using the Nikkor-P 75mm f2.8 and Kodak T-Max film circa 1996. My daughter was 5, and my wife was in the hospital on this vacation. She was under six 6' sky lights and had platinum hair that the sun was hitting, but her face was in shadow. The human eye can see fine in that vast of dynamic range, but film and even digital cameras struggle. I converted this negative using the LR plugin Negative Lab Pro - and I don't think using HDR would capture the seriousness of the moment as well as NLP. I never attempted to print this - even with polycontrast papers, because I felt it likely would never appear as it did in real life.
