Hiking up to Bee Rock at Griffith Park
January 6, Saturday
This was a zero seconds exposure on the Zero Image 135 camera. I’m using ISO 400 film.
This is when I argue with myself about why I didn’t buy regular ISO 100 film.
I guess I can add a few seconds to account for reciprocity, but I don’t really understand that concept. I believe exposure time is increased by calculating a ratio of the light meter readout. In other words, the longer the exposure time, the more seconds I can add to the exposure.
Before leaving this little trail which I believe was a dried up stream path, I took a picture of Bee Rock reflected aga8nst a small puddle of water.
What would’ve been nice was if I could have framed Bee Rock AND the reflection of Bee Rock in the puddle.
This light meter reading was by far the biggest gap between the three digital photos captured on my iPhone. While I stood there waiting 30 minutes for the exposure to end, different things coursed thru my mind. First, I was hoping the camera wouldn’t fall into the puddle. Then I tried to imagine how long the exposure would have had to have been had I loaded the camera with ISO 100 speed film.
