What do you think of the background? Is it too distracting, or does it add a nice touch the overall image? My main problem with this picture is that the background is too dark, and I am going to aim for a more midtone gray when lighting my scene next time.
I may also try to print this again with about 8 seconds of 0 contrast on top of the 10 seconds at 1.5. The highlights are still a hair too bright for my liking.
This general is slow, so I'm going to post my macro film pictures here and in /fgt/. Hopefully you guys don't mind.
>>4344655>9600w/sI was considering trying that for wetplate colloidion. I ran out of chemistry for my wetplates, so I got some 8x10 delta 100 film that I have been having an absolute blast using.
I can use my strobes with modifiers and just use the modeling lights for exposures ranging from 15s-3 minutes depending on my scene. This butterfly took 1min 20s at f/22 for example.
Here is my latest macro shot. I got a bunch of really beautiful dried butterflies that I will be playing around with.
