For quite a while I have wanted to use some Fuji Acros 100 film for night photography because it supposedly does not suffer from reciprocity failure for exposure times up to 1 minute and now that it has started to get darker earlier I decided it was finally time to give it a go. On this occasion I was joined by Graeme – one of the presenter’s of the Sunny 16 podcast – which made for a fun evening of photography and chat. We got lucky with the weather and the temperature was unusually mild for the end of September which made standing around for long exposures no problem at all. The last shot below of the Radcliffe Camera was exposed for just over 1 minute and I added in a little light painting on the roof for good measure. This film certainly didn’t lose sensitivity for such a long exposure time and I will be using it again for more night photography soon.
[Tech info:] Fuji GW690, Fuji Acros 100 film, developed in Rodinal 1+25.
Still get nostalgic when I see Photos of my home City (moved away 44yrs ago).
Super set, cheers.
Thank you. I’m very proud to have Oxford as my home city and I hope you are too.
