Roots.sept.14.01.jpg

An ongoing series of Alder Root studies, shot on 8X10 Bergger Pancro 400 (with Deardorff)

 

Technical:

- lens used was my Schneider Symmar-S 240

- as others have mentioned the base+fog is higher than most emulsions, but that isn't a problem for me.

- Exposure was calculated to be 1:45 @ f45 based on an initial estimate of 22 seconds, and I applied the reciprocity factor for HP5, which I find works well enough (we apparently don't have reciprocity information about Pancro 400) I consider this negative to be an ideal exposure, so HP5's reciprocity values are workable, in case you wondered.

- Processed in Rodinal 1:50 for 20 minutes (2 minutes less than Bergger's suggested starting point. I did this to limit contrast buildup from long exposure/reciprocity.

- minimal adjustments for contrast done in Lightroom, slight vignette applied
