Thanks. Your abandon car shot is really nice and made me wonder. Why so many dead cars die with their hoods open.Originally Posted by Scott Schroeder
Thanks. Well, the executive summary is the jury is still out and another roll needs to be shot. The roll ended up being a poor test roll. It was the last roll shot that day and as the day progressed it went to a dull, overcast day with no sky texture where you should be doing expansion instead of compression, I'd think.
But I did have a few frames left over and stopped by this park at night to give it try. But a tragedy of errors makes this a poor evaluation shot too. First the excuses. Never take someone along who is going to nag you to hurry up because it's cold. The shot was under exposed. The metering was derived off the gravel under the street lamp which read EV2 and I called that the middle gray to end up with a metered 4 min exposure for f11, EI 12. That corrects to around 10 min for reciprocity failure. But no reciprocity chart was in my bag so I went with 8 min as a guess. But I had the lens on f16. For f16 the shot would meter 8 min and correct to about 20 min. The frame was thin but scannable with some scanner noise. I dunno but here it is. The atmospheric light is the moon light under a thin, hazy layer.
