RE: [APML] Luna-rabbit. Was: Gas hypered Velvia claim on Usefilm?

Bert, I wouldn't waste half a year hypering to 10,000.  Get the film up
to 6400 and push process the rest of the way.  I think extending the
development time to about 3 hours would do the trick.  Just suspend the
tank from a neighborhood trampoline and let the kids agitate for you.

Right George! I used a combination of preflash, CO2 cooling, and pure
hydrogen hypering on some old ISO 25 Kodachrome I had lying around to
raise
its ISO to 10,000 (why fool around with a piddling 6400?). When I saw
the
rabbit, I opened the shutter and left it open for 5.5 hours. So you see,
it
doesn't matter that the rabbit might have left during the shot, the film
didn't capture the blur, only the time he was sitting still. Just one of
my
many secret methods for doing animal-astrophotography.
