Impressive... !

Basically, I've shot a few images with a home made pinhole camera... for the landscapes the developing time was cut to half, while for the "portrait" the developer was double diluted but I kept the development time to normal. The results seem to be (more or less) the same. The tint is from...

Thank you everybody for replying !!!

"It doesn't work like that John. I guess there must be a relationship between time and dilution but it will not be linear and finding any reliable data would be difficult as it's not standard practise. You might find something on time vs temperature to account for working in hot climates but...
