The magic is that you get a speed increase in most film (Tri-x is the gold standard at 2-stops) without an increase in grain (it's of a different quality than, say, Rodinal's grain). But you also get a pretty gray negative (this photo had some work done in post, but that's the beauty of a rich, gray negative; you get so much flexibility). This is good if you're scanning and even better if you're scanning and guessing at exposure, like I was. Say you guess is a bit off and you expose as if the film were at ISO 400. The next frame, you expose as if it were ISO 1600. In most developers, one of the two frames will be over- or under-developed depending on what you're shooting for. But with Diafine, you get just the right amount of development, regardless (to a degree) of what speed you shot the film at. This is great for shooting on the fly and something that builds in a lot of flexibility with respect to how you meter/if you meter. Now, there will be people out there who say that photography is a precise art form and that doing anything less than Ansel Adam's zone system for shooting and developing is a travesty.

It's really foolish, but I admit to falling into that trap at times, at least out of curiosity.<br /> <br /> Back to this shot. I was driving to my dad's to pick up something last night when a dense fog rolled in. I could see it enveloping the golf course near my childhood home as dusk set in. I'm such a nerd, but my heart began to beat faster as I thought of close locations I could drive to in order to get a few shots in before it became pitch black. I only (only, psh) had my Canonet with me and no tripod. Luckily, it is becoming my everyday camera and I shoot it at 1600 and develop in wonderful Diafine. I drove to a nearby nature reserve, quickly becoming spooky with the darkness, fog, and night sounds. After I unscrewed the yellow filter I keep on the lens, I jogged into the park. Luckily, I've been there 1000 times and knew a valley in a field where the fog was likely to be, plus, it was close so I could use some of the remaining light handholding the camera. I didn't have an exposure meter with me (my Gossen Luna Pro is out-of-whack for some reason), but I did make a spreadsheet with ISOs (100, 400, 1600) and light conditions (night home, Walmart, deep shade, cloudy bright, and hazy sun) with corresponding f/stops (f/4 for low light, f/11 for bright) and shutter speeds (customized for the Canonet) that I printed and taped to the back of my camera. I also have Fred Parker's exposure calculator saved on my phone and it's a really handy tool. As I jogged to the field, I tried to nail down the exposure, which was tricky because of the rapidly vanishing light. I knew I'd have to shoot close to wide open, which meant a loss of sharpness. I also knew I'd have to shoot at a pretty slow shutter speed, again with a loss of sharpness. But you know what, with these factors and the fog and low light, sharpness is not what I was going for. At all. Instead, I got to run through a dewy field in dusky fog and take some dreamy images of the scene. They are not technical masterpieces, but they have a story and a feel that far surpasses optimal aperture and all the other insignificant worries of the modern-day photographer.

The lake, as you see here, isn't especially large, but with the fog so thick, you couldn't see more than 50 feet ahead of you. I set up and took a few frames, very excited to see what I got. When I got home, I had that sinking feeling when I pulled the film out of the camera. All I saw was the black backing paper. What you should be seeing is the opposite---Ilford, and indeed, all 120 film I've encountered, should be white. I soon realized that in my haste to load the film (and my frustration that it would not load correctly!), I had loaded the roll on backwards. No film was exposed; it was safe, behind the black backing paper that was exposed. It was a bit of a punch to the gut. How could I be so stupid?! But, luckily, I got my wits about me and loaded a new roll and went right back to Como Lake and shot this image. As you can see, it was still foggy, but the dense fog had by then lifted. Oh well, I still like the composition, and I got a good story out of it. I suspect that all photographers have done something like this before, I know I have (ruining a roll because it was too cold to develop; opening the back to see a now-exposed roll; not filling up the developing tank with enough developer, the list, unfortunately goes on).
