Why 400? Well, - choose any one (or all) of the following: 1 It was in the camera 2 The tonal range of 400 ASA material is easier to work with than the inherently higher contrast of slower film 3 It was in the camera 4 Agfa stopped making APX 25 (grrrrr!) 5 It was in the camera 6 I can live with grain - let's face it, as a Rodinal freak I have got to put that one behind me! 7 It was in the camera To be serious, I like doing flower studies - wouldn't be surprised if a few more don't crop up over the course of the year (no pun intended) - and I usually do use a slower film, but this was a bit of a spur of the moment thing, and I quite like the typical APX 400 / Rodinal look on this type of flower. Wouldn't work with a calla lily!

I think it would be stronger if the flower : filled slightly more of the space with the blossom a little more off center, : no great changes. : : Why did you use 400 ISO for a still life? : : Don Dory : dorysrus@mindspring.com : : -- : To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
