_ shoot 1 roll / 400 ISO BW Film
OBJECTIVE:
Shoot images in low light and night situations – these can be indoor with a limited light source or out doors at dusk / evening. Using a tripod, compose images or choose scenes that you feel you would like to shoot – try to be as creative as possible. Movement is NOT a requirement for this assignment. Bracket each composition as you utilize the "B" (bulb) setting of the camera. Calculate the correct exposure as you bracket each scene and log your shots.

VOCABULARY
Reciprocity Law Failure - all film has limits and it is important to understand the relationship between shutter speeds and aperture that will ensure correct exposure. In exposures briefer than 1/1000 or longer than 1 second the predictable relationship between shutter and aperture begins to break down, the film becomes less sensitive to light in these situations and you may need to increase your exposure time beyond what your meter recommends.

Rule of Thumb to Compensate for Reciprocity Failure
ALWAYS BRACKET IN UNSURE SITUATIONS to an OVER exposure that will get more information on the film and the effect you are looking for...
If your light meter suggests 1 second – increase by 1/2 stop - use the aperture for best results
~ Meter suggests 10 seconds – increase by 1 stop
~ Meter suggests 40 seconds – increase by 2 stops
