did you like take polaroid headquarters hostage and demand that the ransom be getting all the polaroid film you wanted? anyway, you never cease to amaze me! this is such an amazing picture. how many shots did it take to get this one? how do you always know how long to expose them?

haha i wish i got free film. i actually do get free 600 and spectra quite often... but the pack film, i'm left on my own. this was one of three shots. the first shot was a lighting test. i intended it to be a diptych but in the process of traveling home, the second shot got scratched and messed up. so i was left with this only.

as far as exposure, it really depends on the lighting. sometimes it's really easy to just see it and know how long to expose for. other times, it takes a couple shots to get it right.

sadly, i still have yet to get a light meter so i'm left with doing quick math in my head whenever i shoot at night. on the other shots from this series, i originally started with f4.6 and exposed for 8 sec. it came out fine, but it seemed like it was missing something. so i flipped it. i put the aperture at f42 and exposed for thirty seconds. the stuff came out much better that way i thought.
