Four Horses

This was an experiment with a new wide angle. I like to shoot right into the sun and see how bad lens flares. This is not to bad for a old 65mm Angulon with a orange filter on a 2x3 Graflex Press camera. This is also my first roll of Fuji Neopan 400. I developed it in Rodinal 1:25. I really like how clear the base is on this film. I bet it would make a good B&W reversal. The 4 Horses looked kind of neat all in a row.

I think it's stunning! The high contrast really works.

I too am starting to like Fuji's black & white films more and more. Been using a lot of Neopan 1600 lately, trying out the 400 next.

Thanks Thom,

Hows the Fuji Neopan 1600 working out? Is it very grainy? I was amazed at how nice and tight the grain on the 400 was.

That is interesting, thanks for posting it. Could you walk me through the exposure? If I add up your filter factor and your exposure numbers, I wind up at typical sunny 16. But yet your sun isn't all that much blown out! So how did you meter it?

It's cool.

Hey, the 1600 is not very grainy at all. Printing full frame from 35mm on 8x10 paper, Tri-X is grainier. The Neopan has more of a technical feel to it, while the Tri-X has more 'bite'. They both look fantastic, in their own way. I wish Neopan 1600 was available in medium format.
There is a close-up portrait in my gallery to demonstrate the Neopan 1600 @ 8x10 full size print, there is even some cropping.

I used a incident hand held meter with white dome. Turned meter towards subject (horses). I set meter at 100 ISO to compensate for the orange filter. I processed with normal Rodinal time 68 degrees 6.5 minutes agitating continuously the first 30 seconds then 10 seconds every minute.

Very interesting result, moonlight effect ... I use it and it seems to have very accented sharpness on edges, even for 400. I use it with Tri-X 400. Q.: did you burned in sky , or this is natural result from orange filter ?
