ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In this video I am using Ilford Delta 100 Pro for Long Exposure Cloud Photography
at the local Windmill here on the Isle of Wight.
My first attempt using the Mamiya 645 was a bit of a disaster. I came away with a nice print
but not the Long Exposure I was hoping for.
My second attempt I used a ND1000 Filter with a Chinon SC 35mm Camera giving me 10 Stops less light meaning I could hopefully get some nice Long Exposure Images during the day. The clouds were not on my side but I managed
to come away with a half decent print showing some streaky cloud.
I calculated the Reciprocity Failure of the Ilford Delta 100 using Ilford calculation as shown on their fact sheet (Link Below)
I also used a cheat sheet for compensating for the ND 1000 filter.
I feel a bit more comfortable with Reciprocity Failure after trying it out.

This video is kind of a new journey for me into the Reciprocity Failures we have to compensate for when shooting longer exposures. I'm scratching the surface here and will eventually feel more comfortable with it moving forward. Hopefully it will help those that are also on the same journey.

I've been shooting film for 45 years and I appreciate what you are doing - that's a lot of work. That's film, you have to earn your chops by learning what works, plus it is time consuming. Digital processing is like cheating it's so powerful and easier. Get a lot more pleasure out of the craft of film photography when you get it right.

I have really been enjoying your series on film photography. Not much is being shown about film which is the original and the most challenging media for creating photographs ( which stay in your possession and not some virtual ' cloud ' somewhere in the US ) so thanks to you for your efforts. I am sure that you know that reciprocity failure can also be caused by too strong a light source too. One of Ansel Adams's lesser known masterpieces shows this effect very well.

I was shooting long exposures on delta 100 with a rule I have found somewhere in the internet (actually it was Howard Bond on Photo Technique Jul/Aug 2003). However I was scanning my negatives, but they were pretty consistent in results. The rule is: Tn = 0.05698 * To ^ 1.5755 + To So for 60 seconds (To) I get 96 second exposure (Tn). I have created an excel sheet on the phone for ease of use in the field. This rule was derived by APUG user, sorry I do not remember names, from the Bond's findings.

I have come to realize the Delta 100 poor reciprocity performance will be a big plus. Fuji Acros 100 and it’s very good performance. I have to use dark ND filters to get long exposures on the beach. And with them on I can’t see to focus. Delta 100 will give me long exposure times just to adjust for the poor reciprocity failure. No need for dark ND filters :)

@liz.morrigan 5 жыл бұрын

I see you're using an ND to increase exposure time and mentioned maybe using a red filter, the dark red 091 should give you 3 stops and really draw out the contrast even in your heavily overcast skies, then you can stack a graduated ND on top of it to act more on the sky so you can do maybe less dodging of the foreground in the darkroom.

Really like the moody penultimate shot of the windmill (portrait, quite dark) before you re-dodged it. It looks like the kind of location that would make a good shot in any conditions (even overcast). Still don't understand reciprocity failure though... something to do with the longer the exposure the less effect it has on the film per second??? (Law of diminishing returns?)

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

Pretty much. I'm a really testing ADOX Silvermax today with long exp as the conditions are perfect. Big ass White clouds moving along with sun breaking through now and then. After my tests I'll go out on location and shoot a few.

Interestingly, I just shot a roll of Fuji Provia transparency in 120 format to capture some cityscape night time shots where I was using 6-10 second exposures. I hope they come out OK because I had not compensated for RF. Your video made me check what it is for that film, and according to this (www.fujifilm.com/products/professional_films/pdf/provia_100f_datasheet.pdf) it doesn't kick in until 128 seconds!! (2 minutes). I find that hard to believe but its in the data sheet. (Page 2 : "For shutter speeds longer than 128 seconds, exposure ad-justments will be necessary to compensate for reciprocity failure"

It appears to differ from ilfords "to the power of" calculations. Delta 100 at a metered exposure of 10s I calculate at 18s. That app calculates it at 30.9s. that's a huge difference.
