Response to Do I HAVE to underexpose if I want to overdevelop and keep the subject's face detail?

Shawn,

From my experience, the T-grain films (Delta, TMAX) do not overdevelop gracefully. Even underexposing and overdeveloping will rapidly increase the contrast to the point of blowing out a lot of detail. I think the conventional grain films are a better bet for grainy, but detailed effects. Pyro is also probably not a great bet for extended development times. Maybe Rodinol would be better. Maybe you should either shoot Polaroid or use Photoshop.
