Shot as a long exposure test for fomapan 100. I have experience and data up to about two minutes, but there is little out there beyond that.
Told myself I shouldn't take it too tight, but the negative holder cropped off more than I wanted anyway. The Yamaha sticker on the right and the hinge in the top left are well within the borders of the negative. I thought putting them in whole lend a bit of rest to the composition. I don't really have any experience with shooting still life and in hindsight I should have put more work into getting the composition just so, even for a test shot. A million things to learn still.
I shoot fomapan 100 pretty much like a color negative film. I place the darkest shadows on -2/-2.5 and let the highlights fall where they may (unless they get too crazy). I shoot it at EI 32.
Measured 6 min@f22 1/2 shot 100 minutes
Developed in XTOL 1+2 for 14m @21C with one inversion every 2 minutes.
Exposure turned out pretty much as planned.
