The exposure for the
photograph of the interior of the Brick Kiln was around 4 or 5 minutes
at f 45. The image was made on an extremely foggy morning and the only
lighting inside the kiln was from the vent seen at the top. While I
waited counting out the exposure time I took a quick photo of the camera
& kiln.
The majority of the images on the
site have been made with a Wood & Brass field camera, about 12 years
old (Japanese) with modern German lenses. Others have been made with
a 1956 Leica M3.
Cameras
I have used a "Rosewood Wista"
5"x4" field camera with a 65mm Schnieder Super Angulon., 90mm
Rodenstock Grandagon, 150mm Rodenstock Symmar & a 300mm Nikon lens,
for nearly all the Black & White images. The rest have been made
with an M3 Leica & 50mm Summicron lens, or a Pentax MX with various
lenses.
Film stock
All the Black & White images
have been taken on Kodak T-max 100 (at 50 ISO) or the faster Agfa APX100
(at 100 ISO). Processing for all B & W negatives has been in Agfa's
Rodinal developer which was first manufactured over a 100 years ago.
Paper
All the Black & White images
have been printed on Agfa Record Rapid paper, now replaced by a Vario-contrast
paper. The developer for the prints has either been Agfa Neutol WA or
more likely Ilfords excellent warm tone developer ID-78
which I think has never been available commercially. I make it up from
the formulae, modified to make a more concentrated stock solution.
