I read a Fred Pickler article where he stated Long exposures (> 1second) will have roughly 1 stop more contrast than a short exposure, given same amount of light . This statement interests me because most of my waterfall shots are exposed between 3 and 15 seconds and over time i have adjusted my processing for my typical images. Wondering if I need to expand time when using short exposures.
Should I expect more contrast for long exposures? This is a a simple yes or no question for a given film based on your experience and process.
Examples:
FP4+ yes;
TMAX no
Parameters:
Assume I expose 2 sheets or frames of a scene, that meters 5 stops SBR, and process them together (Same Tank, same NORMAL developer, same stop, same fixer, same wash):
1) f32 @2 seconds (+adjustment for reciprocity)
2) f11 @ 1/4 seconds.
