kodak 125px underexposed (3 stops) while long-time-exposure
On 12/8/2008 7:24 AM Hans Koana spake thus:
yesterday, in a dark church, where i photographed some dark choir
stalls, i underexposed a kodak 125px (3 stops). normally i push it to
get good grey values, which is not so bad because i shooted a roll of
That would be "I shot a roll" in English.
120-film (6x6). but when i made the photographs i exposed very long time
so contrast will be enhanced a lot because of the effect of reciprocity.
i exposed 45 sec instead of 200 sec.
normally i develop in kodak hc 110 - b, n+0: 6,5 min. n+1: 9 min, n+2
12,5 min. what do you mean? should i take n+2, loose 2 stops, so that
zone v falls down at iii, whith a contrast of 3 zones, enforced by this
long-time-exposure?
Seems to me that's all you *can* do; otherwise, you're going to
completely lose whatever shadow detail you have, or get a low-contrast,
difficult-to-print negative.
