Push Processing

[Sam Trevor]

Hi,
for a change the other day i push processed one of my films i shot.
from a film of iso 400 processed to 3200.
i like the results it made.
i was just wondering how many people do this and why.
it would be good to get your feelings on this topic
thanks
sam

Lots of filmy's do it, we push process to achieve higher shutter speeds in low light.
Sometime we do it for extra grain, artistic motives.
If you find yourself in a situation where the light is crap and you have iso 100 film, shoot it at a speed that allows hand holding or stop action or whatever you need the speed for, and develop it at that speed.
In essence - under expose > over develop...

you have to push the whole film...so everything is at 3200 from a developing point of view..so label the cassette when you take it out!!

i never used it much and usually had a body with 400 and one with 100 or such
3200 is way out of my thought processes

best of luck with all that wetness
