Squinty Long Exposure
Kit: Kodak No. 2 Brownie • Ilford HP5 120
Exp: 45s • f/11 • ISO 400
Dev: HC-110 dil. B • 5 mins • 20 degrees C • Scanned with Epson V700
I decided to try a long exposure with the box camera, well the darkness kinda forced me into it really. I set it up on the tripod - completely squint - it was impossible to see anything through the viewfinder so I just pointed it in the general direction of the boats. The scene metered 1/13s and using a reciprocity app on my phone I exposed for 1/45s. Seemed to work out OK, except for a mega squint horizon and a generally boring shot. I do like the movement in the boats and in particular the mooring rope as they moved during the exposure.
