AT Notes: December 2008
http://analognotes.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2008. If the subject is in the shadows we will meter for the shadows (most of the time). If most of the scene other than the subject is highlights we will split the difference between highlight and shadow meter readings. If the subject is in the highlights and most of the scene consists of highlights, meter for the highlights. If half of the scene is shadow and half is highlights, shoot at the calculated middle meter reading. EX f8 @ 1/60 - f8 @ 1/125. Less time (exposure for print).

http://analognotes.blogspot.com/2009/01/flashing-and-split-filtration-printing.html
Sunday, January 18, 2009. Flashing and Split Filtration Printing. For subjects that have slight substance in their high values, that is, various close tonalities that are difficult to hold in the print. EX. Clouds, white water. A threshold exposure added to an overall print to reduce contrast extremes. Place a piece of diffusion material (soft focus material) under the lens. Place the lowest contrast filter (highest number yellow). With the negative removed, stop the lens down to f/16. Yellow filtration ...
