I have borrowed tripod and was ready to make my Fuji Across test today. I
wasn't going to make any zone system test of zone 1 or any other highly
sophisticated tests. I only wanted to see how this films behave in
different developers. I wanted to find way to not the blow highlights and
keep shadows details. But this on shots I am normally doing in full sun or
against sun. So more or less normal shooting situation. I also wasn't ready
to use 4 rolls and liters of developers. I just wanted to make it simple
enough. And make some kind of starting point which can give me feeling how
Across behave in different developers. I know I wouldn't cover all possible
situations, but that was fine for me.
There was a beautiful sun whole morning but when I went to make my
exposure (half hour ago) clouds arrived and make it very difficult to keep
same light condition. So I am in the middle of one series and can't go
further. Hopefully weather will change and I can continue.

And yes, Sun has come out of clouds for next half hour and I made rest of
my test shots. I did two rolls, each three times the same series of 9 shots
for three different developers. I made first scene on direct sun with
details in white and shadows and second scene from inside house towards
strong sun light with black shadows bellow the window. I made shots from
-2EV up to +2EV of suggested values. I am planning to develop it Paterson
FX-39, FX-44 (Aculux 2) and Amaloco AM74.
I have also plans (maybe for tonight) to rework a little experiment page. The idea is keep all old
experiments there and only add new. Something like article page.
