hi there! i´m new to this site and its my first post, i know this forum is for digital photography but i dont have a digital camera and on my highschool i take photo as an extra assignment but its on film and black and white soo i would like to take some critics on my favourite photo.

i took it with a tri-x film ISO 400
uhm i dont remember the exposure settings but i didnt use flash, i believe its like f/22 1/4
i took with a canon eos rebel k2 with the default 28-90mm zoom

i exposed the paper to 3 maybe 4 shots of 10 seconds each with all the contrast, on ilford RC multigrade semi-matte paper on a durst m 370, the lenght of the paper is 5x7 but the foto i believe its 4x6 im not sure
there is a mistake on the photo but i think i just wait for someone to name it

but ill give you a clue, its a developing mistake, it has nothing to do with the setup or lighting

the background is just black fabric hanging of a wall

cheers from mexico!

I still have my nikon film camera and, occasionally still shoot in film so I can play in my darkroom...very relaxing and I love b/w photos. You don't say whether you used any filters or exposure settings. Using film you really do need to use lens filters. For b/w it's common to use a red filter to make the various shades stand out... Think Ansel Adams and how clear and detailed his photos were. You can achieve the same by using a red filter, a tripod and using the camera's timer.

Good shooting
