Pizza Sauce
Hyacinth Bean Arrangement (contact print)
A 5x7 contact print of a still life I arranged. I had a very challenging time lining the paper and the negative up in the frame to get a straight border. Notice the scanner goof on the third bean pod.
I had the subject sitting on a large white poster board which I angled somewhere between 20-30 degrees. Subject was lit with one tungsten bulb which was overhead and a bit behind the subject.
I faced the camera down at a fair angle and applied a fairly heavy front tilt to get the entire thing in focus. My meter gave me a reading of 400iso...f8...1/8.
After stopping the lens down to f32-45...and factoring light loss for bellow draw...I was left with an exposure of 8 seconds. I consulted my reciprocity failure sheet and determined I needed to expose for 48 seconds. I developed the film normally...not subtracting any time for the reciprocity...and I think it turned out pretty good. I am going to run more tests with this film to decide if development needs to be altered when extending an exposure for reciprocity.
