Asking To Take Photos: Nope, That’s Not Really ‘Street Photography’

Grit Street Photography Tip: Stand Development For B&W Film

I’ve had multiple requests for a video on my Gritstreet method for developing black and white film. In this video, I summarize the process for preforming a 120 minute “stand development” using Adox Adonal. This method is fantastic for street photographers who “push” their film. Stand development offers high contrast images that preserve shadow detail.
