Thomas,
Basically, you overexposed a couple stops. St. Ansel would be proud of
you. Just reduce development about 20% to get the highlights about right.
The shadows will be very soft, probably too soft even for a #2 paper, but
maybe not. Printed on a harder paper they will probably be just about
right, one hopes, without too much grain. These could be the best BW
exposures you've ever made. Congratulations ;-)
Cheers,
Joel Wilcox
