Advertisement Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Hi Doc Henry, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
chrism Posted September 14, 2014 Share #1502 Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice b&w series ot this nice place ! Practical question for me : - what is the development time of Acros 100 ? you plan to further reduce this time ? - when you write: "Acros 100 @80" it means that it has developed at 80 Isos ? Thanks Chris Best Henry I was using the recipe given by the Massive Development Chart - it says 11.5 minutes for exposure at ISO80 and 13.5 minutes for ISO100. Since I was looking for some deep blacks I went perhaps a bit too far by choosing to expose the film at ISO80, picking a contrasty developer and then using a yellow filter. I ended up with very high contrast negatives, and those taken into the sun have the skies overexposed. Live and learn. A question for you Henry, when I shoot contre jour, I tend to meter on the ground below the horizon, lock that exposure and then reframe the picture and take it. I preserve details in the lower half of the photo this way, but I seem to be over-doing it as my skies are often over-exposed. Do you simply trust the M7's meter in this situation, or do you add half to one stop based on your judgement? Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you simply trust the M7's meter in this situation, or do you add half to one stop based on your judgement? Chris Chris, thanks for a chart. It'll be useful for me ! For the exposure, it is difficult to say. What you have said is the classic advice given.The day I shot this photo, I set the "Auto"on M7 and I closed the diaphragm I think it's f: 8 or 11 I then let the camera find the exposure and I focus in the middle (M7 advantage of having a well exposed to the "decisive moment" photo). Secondly, as I said above, the film has the particularity in well supporting "contre-jour" . In any case , it's what I see always with film. Never underexposed or overexposed, here the sky remains blue sky Regards Henry ... in addition , it can also happen, as you said, underexpose slightly when shooting (1/3) if light really too strong Edited September 14, 2014 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism Posted September 15, 2014 Share #1505 Posted September 15, 2014 Henry, if you hadn't come across the Massive Development Chart before, you might like to know it is available as an app for iPhone and Android. I use it as a timer when developing, and all the recipes in it can be edited if you want to adjust them. It really is wonderful! I finished another roll of Acros 100 today, but this time I left the yellow filter off and exposed it at 100. Tomorrow I will scan it.

tookaphotoof Posted September 17, 2014 Share #1516 Posted September 17, 2014 Love the first and third one Henry. Below a car from my birth year. Today, Mercedes designs are al about drama, but back in the days it was all about elegance. This green one has been with the owner since 1999 and still looks pristine.

Doc Henry Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share #1517 Posted September 17, 2014 Nice Mercedes vintage Allen Looking at the photos again of this 12th century Cathedral (Laon,France) , I think the depth of the color of Kodak Ektar 100, including the stone is beautiful and what fidelity compared to what we see . This is a cathedral that I often see ! b&w is good, but the color also It's not like Kodak Portra , it's another type of film perhaps more adapted for monuments? Chris thinks ?

Doc Henry Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share #1518 Posted September 17, 2014 .... and the ability to switch from b&w to color is fabulous, there is even a definite plus side. What depth and relief ! I say to LUF friends who read me and look at my pictures ! Film is not dead Leica will release the M-A, A for analog Leica is right Welcome, dear visitor!

tookaphotoof Posted September 17, 2014 Share #1519 Posted September 17, 2014 Yes Henri, you bought the M7 a bit too fast! It's not a matter of if but when I'll have one next to the MP. [emoji4] Second color photo of the glass. Very nice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji4] Second color photo of the glass. Very nice! No problem Allen This will be my third analog M , but I'll have to work with a cell exposure metering as my Lunaxis Gossen, and is cheaper than MP and M7 Thanks for your comment Henry Edited September 17, 2014 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
