Smart thing to try and circumnavigate those looong exposures by setting up multiple cameras at multiple locations; not sure I would like the anxiety of leaving my cameras unattanded in the wild, but I guess on sundays a lot less people would be around there.
On the clack, I use an elastic band to keep the shutter open on long exposures. Just hooks on the shutter button and underneath & found the back to the wind nob. Or to the tripod let it I can't find a long one. I've done the same On the sprocket rocket.
Hi Andy, thoroughly enjoyed your travelling and risk taking in this episode. Lots of fun ! Question about the 4x10 paper negative. Do you pre flash the paper? And what do you normally rate the ISO for the paper? Also what paper do you normally use? Does it vary based on the the weather or? Thanks for the feedback.
Hiya! I dont get all wound up in technical stuff with paper negative so I don't flash the paper before. Iso 6 is what I rate at. Im using Ilford multigrade b&w paper (gloss) usually but also using old Ilford grade 2 b&w (gloss). Weather wise its only exposure times that is variable. Develop in highly diluted ilford multigrade. 1 parts 19 water. Diluted Vinegar for stop. 20 seconds in ilford rapid fixer. When scanning I will use a flatbed scanner but for the very best results for extra detail and a bit more latitude I use a lightbox and dslr.
On tenterhooks to see whether one or all of the cameras would be stolen. (I might have taken the 4 x 10.) Distinctly Sundayish mood to the photos. Thanks.
Love the video and photos, really good.
Try using a washer on the tripod mount to stop the clack wobbling about.

Good bit of info. Still a bit of a wobbly so and so.
awesome
Thanks, Chris! 🙂

The 4x10 would be missed greatly! Thankfully people were more interested in driving than some strange wooden looking thing!
