St. Mary's By the Sea - First night experiment with my 4x5

Focussing ground glass at night with no loupe is not easy... this was a 20 minute exposure and pushed 1 stop, it was very dim and I think for my first try I did all right, I was attempting to give a slice of focus to the sign and extend it back, I obviously tilted or shift or something the opposite way I should have, or meant to, but it still was an interesting image. I should practice more in the daytime.

I'm also partial to Acros100 which this is NOT, I don't seem to like FOMA much, it's better than EFKE but still has emulsion issues that bug me, it's also the same price as Ilford in 4x5 so I think I'll stick to Ilford once this batch is gone.

Foma100 in Rodinal 1:50 pushed 1 stop in MOD54 (YES it came! and is MUCH better than the FR, and I didn't have any issues with dislodgment of the film, this is the second gen version).

  1. Yes
What I need is to take a class haha, I was just messing around in the dark, I now have a loupe coming in the mail... that will help a LOT... as I've realized, my first model shoot with my 4x5 and I was totally out of focus... haha oops!
