Pushing Ilford Hp5 +2 Stops

Excellent Photos!

I have no clue what you’re talking about but I keep coming back.

In the old days we used to push HP5+ not only for grain and contrast mostly because we needed the extra speed at low light situations.

Delta 1600 pushed to 3200

Definitely adds another tool to my arsenal. I went and shot the Naval Aviation museum in pensacola and having only one 1.2 lens and maximum 800 speed film was severely limiting but I did get some cool-ass photos from it. Now starting my own development I can now push film. Great video as always

HP5's magic only gets unlocked if you push it. At 400, it's kinda mid.

i didnt know i needed a budweiser camera so bad

Great shots Jason!

It's a good looking museum. Bad Call of Duty map though.

Funny this, I did exactly the same thing. Took the film to my usual lab and they laughed! 1600?,,,you mean 2 full stops??? Yes 2 stops, that's what I've written on the label. They laughed, I laughed, siri laughed, but I got the last laugh, the images are wonderful.

That Mr. Bean reference was on point after visiting the getty.

Very tasty shots of the Getty

I can’t wait to make this stock my whole personality. My family thanks you 🙏

loved Dune, love your work as well, but I especially love your commentary style.

But you weren’t shooting at 1600 ISO, right? You just told the light meter that you were using 1600 ISO film so that it would underexpose the pictures, no? I think this sounds nifty, sounds like a good idea for bright sunlight. Don’t see why it would be surrounded by the type of controversy you’re alluding to.

So… do you then ask to have the film developed @ +2? Or do you still get it developed at box speed? Question: If you shoot hp5 @1600 but then get it developed at box speed, is it still considered to be pushed?

Sitting here on a cold night (it’s beautifully warm in Melbourne where I’m from) in Seoul Korea during a business trip, got half way through this episode and thought “why am I sitting here instead of out on the street using that roll of Delta 400 I shoved in my Pentax P30” so out I went, dumping the iPad for some amazing Asia architecture and squiggly signage…only to find once I’d found an epic composition the winder stopped winding correctly, and it was at that moment I went “oh yeah, as much as I love my Pentax P30, it’s not a Leica M6….and that’s why I should’ve stayed in the warm hotel watching the rest of the episode”. 😢

True story.

how about you push your mom off +2 stories

I have a question, when i metering a 400 asa film on a Normal day inside I get a shutterspeed of 1/15 1/20. This is very slow to shoot a portrait out of hand and also when the subject is moving. Is it possible to shoot it for Example in 1/60 1/80 en still get a good exposed photo in the developing proces?

Nice one, loved Dune, but also anyone know why my developer said that pushing film might loose some shots due to the way that it needs to be processed? doesn't sound right to me?

I think 800 is the sweet spot for HP5, I was never all that impressed with it at box speed and always gravitated to Tri-X, but shooting HP5 @ 800 gives it the contrast and punch I feel it lacks at box speed.

if you ever are struggling with a video idea, I would love to see one on the process of your creative journey: ie where you started and where you are now. Love your videos, I hope ypu are stoked on your current lifw.

Tri-X pushes Better... It looks better..

when i used to shoot hp5 i wold use the box speed but i never worked with it digitally only really worked with it in the darkroom but i found that if the correct contrast filters and exposure time were used with the enlarger i got somewhat similar results tho it did vary sometimes

I've been rescanning a bunch of negatives that have survived since the early 1970s (yes, I am unconscionably old). I came across a page of Ektachrome 100 pushed to 1600. I remember taking the photos, and that the film was pushed to 1600, but I have no memory of how they were processed. You might want to try it.

can anyone explane please, how do I measure, if I want to shoot hp5 at 3200, while camera has only 1600 mark. What whould be the settings on camera and in exponometro?

i like pulling film way more

that first shot is the single greates b&w picture i ever saw

what do you think about pushing ilford ortho two stops?

My dad used to shoot this, he’s in prison for thinking U2 are relevant now.

you crack me the f up and educate me at the same time❤️

It's perhaps most evident in this very video ;) that you're straightening the perspective of your scans. Admit it ;d

Why the fuck are you wearing jacket in sunny weather?

If Dune,was truly great,I would bet it will be in an Imax again ! If sequels definitely in lead up to their release ! The subject is pushing hp5 ,I am ready to try it!

Is Dune that film where the kid doesn't like sand?

please enlarge the photos you show on your videos because most people watching it on a phone. it might be enjoyable on a desktop but I can barely see it on a phone.

For those who do this, what's the best developer for pushing this film? Or to phrase it more accurately: which cheap, commonly available developer should I avoid? I've heard Ilfosol 3 is supposedly the worst choice and DD-X and Kodak D76 are much better. Is that true?

Hi which Lab do you use to develop your Ilford HP5 films?

Question, could I achieve the reminiscent feel of these shots with an Nikon FM3 or is the Leica 1/1 in that regard?
As a new photographer, high contrast with film is what I gravitate to.

You’re the man

12mm shots looked great

I really enjoy your videos

This is my fifth time watching this video. It's just that incredible. I love it so much. Shout to grainydays for this visual sex of a video.

Grade 5 it on the print for that super sexy high contrast look!

This was my go to film and exposure/dev method for live gigs where no flash was allowed. Tbf even preferred it when flash was allowed.

i once pushed hp5 4 stops , yeah im a mad man lol

Good experiment ! No pain no grain !

I have to ask, how did you set up your opening scene with the text aligning? Is there a template you use? Honestly always impressed by the first scene every time I watch your videos. Please share :)

Considering everything with KODAK marked on it costs 50% more in Europe, I'll stick with HP5+ (6,80€) rather than TMax400 (11,80€).
