More fun with the foam head painted gray. I use this for setups. Zone VI view camera and 180mm Fujinon soft focus lens at f/16 on Tmax 100. Lighting from a single Fresnel fixture to the left. I determined exposure using a Minolta Spotmeter, sampling various parts of the image and then making a small correction for bellows extension. The meter revealed almost no density on the dark side of the foam head, so I moved a white reflector to bounce some of the light back, just enough to break the density to a dark gray rather than pitch black. The spot meter allowed me to measure the background and I made sure there was just enough light on it to produce a near-black, not pure black, about three stops below the key exposure.
