Snapshots > 2014 July - Tests on 4x5 with the Sinar > Avocado sapling

This was a not-so-successful test. It was shot on an August evening around 8:30pm with fading light, in my living room, in front of a black blanket. The light meter said it required an exposure of 1 minute on ISO 100, but due to the rather extreme reciprocity characteristics of this film (Fomapan 100), the actual exposure requirement would be about 12 minutes. Long story short: some motion blur, the need for a shortened contrast-reducing development and the result is a still rather thin negative with highlights that are too thick and lack detail.
