July 10, 2020 - Bear Valley Trail, Point Reyes
Transcription
Okay, we're out at Keller Beach in Point Reyes. It's a beach that you access from the Bear Valley Trail is July 10th and approximately 11.30 in the morning and we're taking a shot with the 6x17 on the 90 millimeter using a Kodak T-Max 400. I've got an ND64 filter on the lens so it's going to the shot was metered at 1,400 of a second at F-16. Now, metering it for a Vajested it to 1,6 of a second with the ND64 filter and we're going to try four shots adjusting from one second to one half a second to one fourth of a second to one eighth of a second. So although it was metered for 1,6 of a second my shutter can't doesn't go to 1,6 of a second so I'm trying those four settings.

Okay, it's almost 110 and we're at Keller Beach in Point Reyes. We're on a third roll of 120 with the 6x17. It's a Elford F-P4. Nevermind. It's Elford 125. I'll have to look at it later. And our light meter is reading for F-22, one-eighth-a-th of a second, but the shutter only goes to one-sixtieth of a second, so that's what we're setting it at. What else? The composition is kind of a big white rock out in the ocean with lots of what appear to be cormorants, seagulls, and pelicans, fruit bats. And so we're going to try and take a couple shots here. Hold on one second, I get this. So we're reaching to... And yeah, so we're on the first frame which we'll be taking at box speed. The second frame will be taken with a red filter, same everything. F-22, one over 60, yeah, at the 90 millimeter. And then the third frame we're going to use an ND-4 filter. And the fourth frame we're going to use an ND-10 filter. So I'll talk more about that later.

Alright, we're on our second roll of film at the bird rock here in the point race beach. It's now 130 and we're gonna shoot a roll of Velvia 50. The first shot will be at box speed, the second shot will be at... well everything's gonna be at f11 and the base exposure will be 1-125th of a second and the second shot will be with an ND4 graduated filter at 1-8th of a second probably 1-4th of a second to compensate for this guy. The third shot will be a solid ND4 filter at 1-8th of a second. In fact, we'll take two shots with the graduated filter, one half the exposure, one full exposure and then the fourth one will be the solid ND4 filter at 1-8th of a second.
