Response to Pyro & snow

I can't comment on snow directly, but I can comment on what pyro (the PMK formula) does on highlights in general. There is no comparison to what happens with the densest parts of a negative between pyro and any other developer I've used. White, and exposure highlights, simply glow with pyro. Unless you overexpose snow by 4-5 stops or more, I guarantee you will get amazing results, unless my experience with white clothing, blownout white backdrops, modified direct-into-the-lens--sunlight, purposely-overexposed human skin, etc. i.e., plenty of 'work with graded whites' does not transcend the subject matter--I am certain snow could not be more beautifully captured than with pyro and a well-exposed neg. Now I am curious, and hope it snows on Christmas...shawn
