Waiting for 30 Seconds

Self-portrait with positive copy microfilm (Kodak 2468) provided by the Film Photography Project. Sorry for my lack of framing, but it was a technical test, not artistic. Taken with the venerable EOS 10s. I stopped down to f16 for an ultralong exposure (shot at 0.75 ISO to begin with) to test the reciprocity characteristics. As far as I can tell, no compensation is necessary for the film. I used the mirror lock up feature of the camera and triggered it with the ir remote control (you can see it in my right hand). With the remote, you can trigger an instant or 2 second delay. With the 2 second delay, you can have the mirror lock up to minimize vibration on the tripod. So any blurriness is movement on my part.

 

The film is pretty fun. It comes out as a positive, so you scan it like a slide.
