Garden putti (we call him Putin)
Heavily overcast noonish at 1 pm and pretty much in shade.
The measured EV was 10,5 roughly so the exposure was calculated to 18 min at f/8 using the reliable Tessar 180 mm for this half plate test of a new batch of 4 sheets to take to Italy this coming Sunday.
By the end of the exposure the light deteriorated further and was EV 9,5
To compensate for loss of light during exposure I chose to use a stronger developer, 1 % instead of the usual 0,8% Gallic Acid. The image started to appear fast just 10 min after adding the accelerator (acetonitrate) .
