RE: Web site/New images



Keith,

Thanks for looking and your encouraging comments. The SFX200 pictures were 
taken on a sunny day - in July I think. I rated the film at the suggested 200 
and initially tried metering through the filter on my EOS 10, bracketing a 
stop each way usually.

However, after a few shots I was a bit worried that the meter was giving me 
too much exposure so I decided to rate the film lower and meter without the 
filter. I rated it at 20 - just over 3 stops down. On looking at the negatives 
this was a good decision since the earlier shots were somewhat overexposed. 
(My initial attempts at HIE proved that my EOS 10's meter is not particularly 
sensitive to infrared).

I tried to keep the f-stop small: f8 or f11 and in the 'sunny' pictures I was 
getting a shutter speed of about 1/60th (which roughly equates to the sunny 16 
rule - taking into account the film speed and the filter).

As I said in another post, I'm quite pleased with the SFX shots and will try 
some more this year (I also have a couple of rolls of Maco to try). I've tried 
a Cokin 003 with it before and the results were OK, though some looked a bit 
strange. The 70 filter, however, does seem quite suited to it. I also have 
Ilford's SFX gel filter but find it rather inconvenient to use; I've not used 
that with SFX, though.

Cheers,

Kevan
