A couple shots of Gettysburg shot with my Zone VI

I really like the atmosphere and light trails on no. 1

Fabulous shot

Great management of the tones

thanks! I can't claim any particular skill here though as it's a straight scan. Xtol tends to tame the Efke-25 pretty nicely.

The SF Bay Area LF meetup group got together at the Palace of Fine Arts this past Saturday night. Expect a few more in the upcoming weeks, but I guess I had the most free time to scan and process mine.

I think this turned out the best of the lot:

250/4.7 Fujinar, f/11 for 90 seconds, Delta 100. I had metered 1 minute, so guessed that 90 seconds would be the correct compensation. Turns out, I was wrong, but I should have metered for about 30 seconds, for which 90 seconds would have been a more accurate compensation for reciprocity failure, so I got a good negative anyway.

This was a little earlier in the evening, so the sky is still very bright compared to the buildings, but at least I was able to do a 1/2 second exposure which kept the moon from blurring:

125mm/5.6 Fujinon-W, f16, 1/2". Delta 100. In theory, even at 1/2", Delta 100 needs a bit of reciprocity compensation, but my old Seiko shutter drags by about 1/3 of a stop at 1/2", so it works out anyway!

And the last one of the night for me:

165/3.5 Zeiss Tessar at f/11 and 30 seconds. I don't know if I bumped the camera, or I missed focus, or if the negative just bowed in the holder (a problem with the Microtek M1), but there's nothing in good, sharp focus here. I might have to re-scan the negative.

This one's great. You and Lucas have really got your exposures down for these night time shots.

Thanks! This recently acquired data has been helping me nail every exposure. Those two photos are the only two exposures I made that night.
