We...Yes I reckon that was the primary reason, Jim. We had a spate of that sort of thing over here too a few years ago. Just kids being stupid, but with pretty disastrous consequences if you happened to be driving under at the time. Fortunately that particular problem seems to have been resolved, at least for now.

Used to be, not so long ago, I could figure things out. Just spent an afternoon printing contact sheets and trying to see what pearls of wisdom I can glean from it all...let's just say so far they are a bit thin on the ground. You can read all about it when I get my head around it - what I mean is, if I get my head around it :)<br /><br />But yeh, a bit of over-exposure is the key, I think - for these lovely B&W films that we like using, at least. Maybe that's all that one needs to say about the thing...but I'm sure I'll find some more words soon ;)<br />Michael McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247145157454447816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957150598868482631.post-74701851430886226202017-01-19T13:10:27.639+00:002017-01-19T13:10:27.639+00:00A bunch of years ago, when I lived in Terre Haute,...A bunch of years ago, when I lived in Terre Haute, a fellow driving on I-70 was killed when someone threw a large rock off an overpass and it struck the driver's windshield.<br /><br />*This* is why overpasses are blocked with chain-link fencing.Jim Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941665968757241278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957150598868482631.post-11494530262317774872017-01-19T09:28:04.142+00:002017-01-19T09:28:04.142+00:00Hey, hey! Now we're going places :)
The coffee...Hey, hey! Now we're going places :)<br />The coffee is ready over here, Michael, so just bring the facts and words to the table and I should be ready to take it all in.<br />Reducing the speed of the film would be a nice enough trick to get more light onto the film itself, and that would essentially be the same thing I've been trying to do the last couple of months as well. Deliberately over exposing the manual way is what I've actually done, but it's the same thing more or less. Using these manual cameras it's more a case of feel than anything else, but I think the quality has improved a tad anyway. Hard to say, as I've been snapping away on unknown film lately. I will, of course, keep on to check if I might get a bit more punch and oomph out of the old HP5, FP4 and the PAN400 batch I have in stock. <br />I'm waiting for more to come some day soon :))<br />Take care, mate!Roy Karlsvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805712465787215923noreply@blogger.com
