I am picking up film again. I am thinking to use standing development as my standard development practice.
Here, I use the term standing development loosely. It includes full standing development, semi-standing development, or minimum agitation, that suppose to compress the global contrast while promote the micro contrast. I want avoid dodging and burning.
But, after I searched a lot of web photos, I can hardly find shared photos that I can admire. All of therm, so far, looks weird in the tonal rendering. I am sure this is largely my personal taste.
Here's a mix of my observation and thinking. The effects of standing development, in the terminology of signal processing in the spatial domain, is to compress the low frequency response while amplify the high frequency response.
Try it in your audio, turn down significantly the low frequency channel and turn up significantly the high frequency channel. I am sure it is very likely to make your music unpleasantly ugly. That is exactly what I feel in the web photos, even include all photos from Sandy King and Michael Sherman.
Of course, this bad effect can be reduced if knowing how to apply it wisely. But I guess in the end, it is not use stand development.
