Re: [pinhole-discussion] reciprocity table for ectachrome E100S

2002-07-17 Thread James Kellar
The table that I have used for most of my 100 iso film is published in Eric Renners book, Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique. I don't have it in front of me, and can't remember off the top of my head. As soon as I find it I'll let you know. James On Wednesday, July 17, 2

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Colour slide film latitude

I've used Fuji Sensia 100 in my 35mm (with pinhole) camera with no problems. I used it outdoors in good light. Exposures were less than 10 seconds if I remember correctly. I simply used the camera metering through the pinhole for exposure. Maybe adding a bit of exposure since the meter was gett

[pinhole-discussion] Fuji Provias for Pinhole

2002-07-17 Thread Howard Wells
Tom, I forgot to mention the tungsten balanced 64t which is also a Provia family member. Most of my several minute long exposures have been indoors so the color balance was quite warm because of household tungsten lighting. It is my impression that the film goes slightly magenta at some point. I'm

I tinkered with this problem for a while before concluding that there seemed to be no way to increase contrast for HP5. I tried one recommendation for that film, using HC110 at 1:20 instead of 1:31, but I couldn't see a difference. With TMAx you have the quick and dirty option of increased agitatio
