Re: Yellow tents and UV (was: outdoor gum demo)



7 minutes is not short at all. There should be another explanation...

Controlling with a densitometer shouldn't be necessary as long as you use
negatives with the same DR (or the same negative), the printing parameters
are the same and you get equal highlight detail (or same number of steps)
- which would mean that you indeed gave enough / comparable exposure.

To be able to compare (UVB weighted as I get it) UV index values with UVA
radiation / printing times in a sensible manner, the atmosphere has to be
clear. (Plus, naturally, other printing parameters should be same or
pretty close.)

Regards,
Loris.
