flim/digital question?
-
ive been trying to do longexposures at night in the wicklow mountains. i was shooting them on digital roughly shooting five minute exposures and they were coming out ok, i applied the same setting to film, iso aperture and exposure but the film isnt really coming out i might just about get one frame but generally threre blank, im using a nikon d300 and a nikon fm2, just wondering if anyone has any advice on this or now anything that might help.
Google “film reciprocity failure” and have a read e.g.

Surprised you haven’t heard about reciprocity failure to be honest, but as the quote goes ‘the longer the exposure, the longer the exposure’ :)
If you’re shooting b&w try out some Fuji Acros 100 which seems to be reciprocity-failure immune up to approx. 2 minutes. For further info check out the film info sheets online that the film manufacturers provide – these will tell you what sort of exposure compensation you will need,
