Uh, this is probably a really dumb question, but what steps would you use to
get this pushed-film processed, given the technology likely available in a
small town? The last time I pushed film, I lived in a large metro area--I
don't presently. At that time, I found that the labs would routinely process
(neg) frames that had been deliberately been low-bracketed, so that the
results from top-bracket to low-bracket were essentially the same. I
probably should have pursued this phenomenon, but threw my hands up and said
"*&%#!", or words to that effect. ;-)
This sounds like something I'd like to look into, if I can find the
resources.
Best regards--LRA
