Indirect window light, about 2 pm Beijing haze. Not sure what that compares to as far as Oklahoma light. Guessing you are brighter with less pollutionOriginally Posted by seezee

Indirect window light on a hazy day will transmit less UV and the blue end of the spectrum requiring considerably more exposure for the x-ray film.
Apart from the pollution, I think you are farther north. Beijing = lat. 39.9042° N; OKC metro = 35.4676° N. So I'd probably need a slightly shorter exposure.Indirect window light, about 2 pm Beijing haze. Not sure what that compares to as far as Oklahoma light. Guessing you are brighter with less pollution

The great thing about x-ray film is that it's cheap so testing to find what works in each situation doesn't break the bank or anger the better half (too much)

Great work, Thomas.

thank you Peter!
The facial expressions are priceless, I guess patience was waining?? Great shot
This is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has used or seen x-ray film without rounded corners? Essentially, square corners. I have fuji green with rounded corners but I started to cut down the 8x10 to 4x5 with a safe light and not having a rounded corner on 4x5 might be a blessing. thanks
I've only seen rounded corners, sorry.
