Stefan, I was using Fuji film, probably 400 speed. Tom Ross, my teacher, is teaching me the zone system to help me visualize the way my b&w images will turn out since I mostly shoot color. I scanned the negative and made it b&w in PhotoShop. I'm going to shoot Mt. St. Helen's next month. I think I'll try the Tri-X that so many recommended. Thanks for commenting.

It would be easier to offer critique if I had a better idea of what you are trying to do here. Did you scan the negative or is this a scan from print? It looks a little posterized (esp. in the highlight) which suggests to me that the negative maybe was underexposed. I find T-max difficult to work with - sometimes it is just great, but it needs perfect exposures (at least in my hands) to get there. For some reason I've had more luck with Ilford 400 or HP5+ for a film with a little more character.

I really like what you have attempted here. it's been so long since my darkroom daze and this takes me back - good work/ I love your composition. My advice on film is my favorite HP5. But if you want to try great BW films get some XP2 and the Kodak version that can be developed by Ritz just like color neg film -- Godd luck. Kev

I agree with Chris, especially on the Tri-X.

Good films to shoot when learning to zone is either Ilford FP4+ or Kodak Tri-X. I use Tri-x and FP4 all the time with great results. I consider myself a disciple of Ansel Adams and I studied his book ?The Negative? which is the bible of the zone system. Keep up the good work and welcome to the dark side know as B&W.

Joao,
I usually shoot Fuji film and have it developed at Ritz Camera. This was shot in color and adjusted in PhotoShop. I have very little darkroom experience; I've developed 3 or 4 rolls. Please, make film suggestions. I'm a beginner and really appreciate advice from more experienced photographers. Thanks.

I don't know what a Kodak 400 is, my fault, but if you're using TMax 400 for this purpose, and specially if developping at home, do use something else, I strongly suggest.
