"fill flash" to soften shadows and add some value to the dark areas?

Thanks James for another technical critique. But you're giving me too much credit to think I understand it! Seriously though, I am trying to get a better grasp of the technical stuff but I don't find that part of photography fun unfortunately. Anyhow, maybe some day I'll understand it all and it'll become second nature. Anne :)

Hi Anne, the contrast here is excessive. The film can hold lots of contrast6 but when it is put on paper that is where the problem comes into play. If this is scanned the contrast is still too high because the iso of the film was such that there isn't enough info to make the shadows more visible. Try cutting your film speed in half and under developing the film by 20%. That may solve the contrast problem. It will certainly give you more negative density to work with while capping the highlight densities. When you framed this image and metered the meter saw the zone 6 1/2 wall and closed down the aperture to make that part of the wall a midtone or zone 5. That is why the shadows are so dark(empty). This image needn't have the shadows be very bright but there should be some detail visible in them. Wynn Bullock, Morely Baer, and Brett Weston created lots of images with very dark shadows and very bright highlights but almost always had some shadow detail. I like the framing of the scene and the balance is fine.
