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

Shot w/ my iPhone 13. Turned into b & w.
I respect photographers who use roll film and non iPhone cameras.
I have a NIKON D-3200’and one day I will hopefully go back to using it, especially if I get a telephoto lens .
Until then…

@soar2newhighs i use my phone quite a lot (Samsung S24). Its much easier to carry and does a far better job at answering calls than my cameras 😁
I'll often convert cellphone photos to B&W with Lightroom and Photoshop.
