Main Building with pre-exposure
The Main Building at Notre Dame at twilight.
This is photographed on Efke PL100 film. I spot metered on the front pediment and pre-exposed through a diffuser 2 stops down then did the final exposure at 0.5 EV over the indicated exposure for a time of 30 s at f/8. To determine the pre-exposure settings, I spot metered through the diffuser which was subsequently placed in front of the lens for the pre-exposure. The pre exposure has brought out more shadow detail in the brick work compared to an equivalent shot without pre-exposure. Indeed, some grout lines are visible here which are not visible in the non pre-exposed shot.
