[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 26039, member: 6548"] Hello Marcel...thank you for responding and I'm grateful for the nice comments! I will try and answer some of your questions...Exposure length was 1/15 fstop 1.8 I was sitting in a small laundry room just off the dining room and kitchen and the only light was from a computer screen and a light over the stove in the kitchen...read basically candle light I would guess an EV of maybe 5? F2 with Eye-level finder...meterless...no ASA (ISO) to set just whatever the film is rated...200 in this case...400 or 800 would be a wiser choice I guess. Often I use another camera to meter with when I use the the F2 DE1 but I am also one of these Sunny 16 fools...lol Color Negative cheapo deapo Fuji 200 processed at Walgreens...get this - 1545 X 1024 very low quality scans and look at how good it crops...imagine a real good scan! Imagine using slide film with a real good scan! I am going to try and recrop it using your suggestion of putting some more space in front of the nose...in the above case I was trying to do away with the light blob...perhaps I should just photoshop it out... Thanks again Marcel! :) [/QUOTE]
