The image is definitely underexposed. The camera metered the scene
at F2.8 400ISO 1/5 and I shot it at F2.8 400ISO 1/30.
So no question, that is underexposed.
I am going to take one more stab at this before going the digital
route.
My plan, after having read your kind posts and talking with some
friends is to:
1) Make a test strip using 5 filter to get blacks and note the time.
2) Expose the paper with this time and then make a second
exposure/test strip to get highlights.
I will stop the lens down as much as possible and then go from there.
If that fails, I am going to try to pre-flash (which I have never
done). If that fails, I'll go digital *sigh*.
Thanks again,
J
