Wow, love these stage shots! Are you using an ND, or is stopping way down to f64 doing it for you? I'm wanting to do ultra long exposures outside during the day, so doing my research on technique and appropriate filters.
Mine was just f64 and no ND filter. You'd definitely need an ND filter or a pinhole camera to do daytime long exposures.
oh, where was this local production? I've found that ektar seems to react the best to stage lights. nice to see more people trying it out too.
I never use ND filters for mine. just stopped down all the way. If i'm going to do a full day, or week of a build or something, then i'll switch to a pinhole, filterless.

A community theatre in Frederick, MD. I wish I'd had Ektar for the second act but I was all out and had to use Portra 160. Didn't like it as much but they also used very little hazer so it didn't have the same effect.
And thank you for the inspiration! Hopefully going to be doing this for every future show at my theatre.
i love when the actors create a light cloud like that, i wish this one was a little darker though. just so that cloud popped out more.

Pinhole shot between December 2018 to May 2019 (5 months exposure). The 100 fomapan 8x10 sheet film was kept flat in a ikea box taped real good, and then developed in R09 (rodinal). The negative was dense, obviously, but still had an image on it.
Then I made a digi neg and printed as cyanotype 30x30 cm, then toned in wine tanin, which is the image you see.
I made another one, but humidity ruined the shot. I have a couple more around the garden to remove, develop, and re-install before the summer solstice...
