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
