Something Different

Quinn Jacobson July 29, 2022

I wanted to try something different today. I ran out of time printing this - I’ll add to this post tomorrow after I nail the print. I’m at 6 minutes with this one. I’ll run a test of 7, 8, and 9 minutes tomorrow and find the sweet spot.

There is something I like about this a lot. I know it’s underexposed, but there is a quality about it - its contrast and brightness appeal to me. I used an old Derogy f/4 and the movement or “swirl” is very attractive to me - it sets the wheel in motion. There is so much UV up here, this was a 1.5-second exposure and it is very dense. I would say 2+ DMax. I didn’t check it, but I bet I’m close.
