Long exposure with B&W film

More of an experiment than anything. I metered for the temple and got a reading of EV2! Putting the temple on zone 5 gave me a shutter speed if 4 seconds at f5.6. Compensating for reciprocity gave an exposure time of 22 seconds. There’s some strange halo effects, but these may be due to shooting through double glazed windows!!

Pentax MX, Pentax-M 135mm f3.5 at f5.6 and 22 second exposure.
Fomapan 100 at box speed
LC29 at 1:29, 21C for 8.3 minutes

Hate to admit it but despite using analog and digital ale cameras, I am spoiled by my iPhone 13
Here is a simple image that I turned from
Color to b & w.

@soar2newhighs there's most definitely a difference between images taken with a phone and those taken with a camera. Which is better? They each have merit. I suppose shooting with a film camera requires a greater understanding of light whereas the digital camera or phone does everything for you. I went back to film to get more engaged with the making of a photograph as Ansel Adams may have said.

Anyway, here's another cellphone photo for you.
@nzjim Yes…Ansel, The Zone system. I took the NYI course. Great course.
