Anyone have any tips for using EB/RA Carestream at night? I'm curious if reciprocity failure occurs at 1m+ exposures for such slow film.

I cannot speak for EB/RA, but the Green Latitude stuff I use has brutal reciprocity characteristics. At night though, it probably doesn't matter. Just go out and shoot.
OeT... your negatives look fine. You won't know for sure until you print them. Don't go the emulsion stripping route. Negative density range will be cut in half, and tones look weak, and grainy, in my experience.
It is a nice old bridge that isn't used any more
It's located in Sweden in small town called Mjölby
Thank you all seems I'm not that far off then
I will go back and take some more pictures with the same setteings and develop in different times and dilutionand see what works best
Just buoght myself a couple of old time heavy duty paper guillotines which makes cutting the film a breeze

Two strips of tape to line up the sides of the film and then just cut no need to measure and done in a second.
I keep going back to that first bridge shot, fabulous photo, its a shame about the mottling, would have been a great wall hanger. I imagine it would have made a great carbon transfer print tooQuote:

Finally got a decent pic using the old Nikon speedlight. Still a little underexposed.
Hence why I would recommend using a rotary trimmer version rather than the ol chopping block.
either way scratching can be an issue. anyone have any tips for preventing scratches on the negative while cutting?Quote:

Buff Einsteins (~5600K), I'm rating this film at EI 25. This assumes my normal development regime, which is ~60 minutes semi-stand in Pyrocat-HD using a daylight tank (HP CombiPlan).
I plan to do some outdoor tests soon & will report back once I do.
