When I was doing low key still life with the digital setup it was fairly easy because you could see the results on the screen. Now I have moved to 4x5 everything appears to be heading south on me.
I use the following lights
- Modelling lamp from a studio head (usually with a 10° grid)
- Incandescent light
I have noticed that the majority of my exposures look awful, under-exposed, mushy low values.
I use the manufacturers (Fomapan) reciprocity times for exposures longer than 1 second but I have noticed that their data sheet does mention these times are for daylight.
Does black and white film react differently to this type of lighting in any way ?
