But a friend asked for some prints made from a couple of 6x6 negs. No problem I thought, they're well exposed, good range of tones, clean. But the subject in both is a large corrugated roof, one shot a barn and one a quonset hut, both against a clear blue sky. Turns out the metallic grey is very close the gray of the sky and I didn't use a filter. I find it difficult to make a b/w print delineating these two areas.
Lesson learned - use filter when shooting b/w film - I got lazy. Had I converted a color digital file of those two scenes, I could have used channels R,G, and B to differentiate the greys. But these were shot BDE (Before Digital Era).
However, back to the present issue - anything I can do differentiate those greys in my b/w negatives? Maybe I'm overlooking something very simple.
Thanks all,
Paul
