Bad, bad panda!

Ondu 6x9 pinhole f133

Ilford Delta 400

7 minutes

 

I took my time to play a bit here. The idea of making this bad panda picture come in my mind a day when flickr was down for nearly all the day... and I also wanted to try my Ondu with a close subject.

 

A little background:

 

I turned on the lights in the room. I put two gold metallic foil board on the floor under the tv to get some reflected light as well from below. For the TV I turned down the brightness to decrease contrast to its surrounding.

 

Of course I put my Ondu 6x9 on the tripod first. To choose the desired frame I used my tape measure to extend the field of view indicators on the side and top of my Ondu and after finding the place of my tripod I used its bubble level to get the wooden beauty straight.

 

I used my Pentax K20D with kit lens at 55mm, left on multi-segment metering mode to measure around zones here. (At least I can use it for something as it is out of order, it is unable to take pictures.... but who cares if you already have this beautiful pinhole camera LOL) So my measurement was made using AV mode set to ISO1600 and f/8.

 

Results:

yellow wall right to the TV: 1/30s

green leave of plant in the white pot: 1/10s

white part on TV: 1/45s

black part of panda on TV: 1/4s

 

Finally I chose 1/15s for my EV. I converted the ISO1600, f/8, 1/15s trinity to ISO400 and f/133 and got 72s. For this convertion I used the exposure calculator from google play store. I made the correction with the given 1.41 reciprocity failure factor of lford Delta400: 72^1.41 is about 416s, so finally I opened up the pinhole cover for 7 minutes.

 

I got the film developped in the local lab, scanned with my Epson V500. Et voilá!
