James,(posted 8726 days ago)I did use a #29 Deep Red filter and metered through the lens & filter. I was not aware, however, that ASA 400 was the common ASA setting photographers use....I was told to use 50. :)
In response to Richard's question, thats an interesting angle. My situation with the film prior to and after exposure was a bit unusual.
I bought the film and immediately refrigerated it for a few months, I think. I bought it from Freestyle Photo. The night before the shoot, I pulled the film out and loaded it into the camera (in darkness). Since I wasn't going to have access to anyplace with complete darkness, I figured it wouldn't hurt to load it the night before.
Anyhow, the day of the shoot, it wasn't too hot but it was still quite warm....I shot off about 15-20 pictures and then came home. Unfortunately I wasn't able to shoot it all off at once like we're supposed to, and ended up finishing it about a week later. During that time it stayed in my camera bag in my room.
Now that leads me to another question.....could the delay in processing have anything to do with this? Cuz I was always told to process it immediately or soon after exposure...the sensitivity would be less. But as far as I'm aware, it wouldn't fog it....but then again, I could be wrong.
Thanks to all of you for letting me pick your brains!
