About this deal

Of course, professional photographers still deliver prints when clients request them… but most of us here aren’t pros.) Trade in eight languages: English, Japanese, Standard Chinese, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Turkish

Tone and contrast is very good and grain just enough to give the images the character that I look for in an analogue image. This experiment has certainly encouraged me to use this film again as long as it isn’t priced a lot different to its’ competitors. Request base metal prices for monthly strips either as a weighted average or individually priced, up to two years forward Guitarists have the Fender Stratocaster, soldiers the AK-47, and handymen the world over have WD-40. These products have become the standard bearers in their fields; tools of the trade that are so accomplished they need no introduction. They’ve become so ubiquitous that even the inexperienced layman is familiar with their capabilities. At the new price point though I have begun to try it again and have taken it away on some visits to Devon and Cornwall and using it in one of the Zeiss Nettar cameras and using it with a Weston Master V light meter. Kodak Tri-X 120 film is a truly legendary film. Kodak Tri-X emulsion was first introduced in 1940 in sheet film, making it over 80 years old!

Tri-X always was three different films: 35mm had that raw edge, medium format was a bit more refined and sheet film was sophisticated.

So Tri-X has always been my go-to film, and I still shoot a few rolls a year… But I gotta tell you, today’s “incrementally reformulated and improved” Tri-X isn’t quite the same as the Tri-X of my youth. All our Lead Consultants are committed to promoting best practice and supporting social care practitioners to improve the lives of vulnerable children and adults. Content Review & Development Board Which brings me to my favorite characteristic of this film, its pushability. And yes, that’s a technical term. For the uninitiated, pushing film simply means under-exposing the film in-camera and compensating for that under-exposure later during development. In other words, pushing is a sneaky way to increase film speed without actually using a more sensitive film. And more than any other film, Tri-X can be pushed to simply stunning effect.I know that there’s many film photographers who find that crisp contrast of Tri-X too hard – many seem to prefer the more graduated contrast of Ilford’s HP5 (an excellent film in its own right). But Tri-X, like Kodachrome, is a film that helped define photojournalism in the latter half of the 20th Century, and it’s something of a miracle that you can still shoot with a film that documented 1950s jazz clubs, the Vietnam War and the birth of punk. We used Tri-X regularly in 35mm, 120, and 2-1/4 x 3-1/4-inch and 4×5-inch sheets. In the late 60s, I even shot dozens of rolls of Tri-X in a Minox subminiature! (That tiny 8x11mm negative… You wanna see some REALLY big grain?!?) Notice that this 2014 Tri-X is finer grain than the version I used in 1996 in the previous photographs.

At that time, you could still walk up inside the Statue of Liberty and climb into the head. I am not sure if this is possible now.

These days, displaying the digital image file on the web, on our smartphones, is the thing. Unless you’re displaying in a gallery exhibit, who needs a paper print? I used Tri-X for many years as a newspaper photographer and love it’s character… just the right amount of grit. All of us on the staff regularly pushed the crap out of that film for indoor sports … the only way to get 1/500 @ 2.8 was to push it to 3200 and we had that down to a science; it held up beautifully. Know why? Because we knew our film. We knew what it was capable of and where it would fail. Nowadays, a film with its 400 speed is considered very much in the mid-range, but the versatility of Tri-X is arguably unrivalled. How fortunate you were to photograph destinations around the world before we became ‘digitally wired.’ For all the positive, modern benefits of being connected, it was fun to be able to disconnect from your familiar surroundings for a bit and rely upon your travel savvy & people skills.New York City was always fun, but it was grungy and dangerous in the 1970s. That was the era of municipal bankruptcy and the painful shift from a manufacturing economic base to finance and banking. I wish I had explored more during that time of transition. In the photograph below, the World Trade Center was brand new and mired in controversy, and many floors were unoccupied. This negative is a mess, and I superimposed part of another frame on it. I must have changed films partway through the roll and mis-counted. I took this photograph only a few months before Philippe Petit made his famous high-wire walk between the Twin Towers on the morning of 7 August 1974.

I decided to up the ante and push it all the way to the limit- ISO 6400. That’s a four stop push, something considered virtually suicidal for any other film on the market. Tri-X handles that four-stop push with ease. Grain isn’t as obtrusive as one would expect from a film pushed so far. Tonality, while made more severe, is remarkably well-preserved. Highlights retain an acceptable amount of detail owing to Tri-X’s excellent latitude, and though shadows lose detail in the push, it only intensifies the already stark look of the film. Though the image doesn’t have the same tonal range as Tri-X shot at box speed, it does remarkably well considering that I pushed the film past its supposed functional limit. Images shot at ISO 6400 are quite beautiful in their own unique way.
