This Really Was the Agfa's Test Roll


Voila!

What I've learned is:

  • you can get bokeh at f4.5.
  • the flash works best at f4.5 and 1/100th.
  • the shutter speed has unexpected results on flash photos; that is, the exposure doesn't increase in proportion to the slowness of the shutter - though you can see an effect in the background ambient lighting.

There are two anomalous exposures, at f11 1/50th and at f4.5 1/10th. I just can't explain what happened with those two, how they're so overexposed.

Next, a roll at f4.5 and 1/100th, with flash, to check out its consistency, and how it works with different compositions.

And I need to look at getting higher contrast when dev'ing.

  2. It reminds me of that line from John Cooper Clarke's poem Readers' Wives: "I'm freezing Charlie, have you finished yet?"
