At least it looks like the bottle was used a couple of times during the exposure - the ghosts must have been having fun. <g>

Very nice, seems like last year was a good photography year for you.
The thirsty ghosts.Excellent indoor shot.
Earl, a bottle of Summit for sure, looks like EPA, with pinhole capturing that time slice of vital history. You and Leo know how to live the photographic life!
My thoughts exactly, a Summit IPA can lead to certainly lead to a number of mysterious happenstance :P......Originally Posted by 1169
Hey Earl, I keep looking at this photo and find myself wondering about the film & exposure time? Any idea?
The film is Chinese ERA 100 purchased from Taiwan on ebay. The exposure time was approximately 1/2 hour. It was developed in HC 110 dilution H; I have not found the perfect combination of exposure and development to bring out the most in this film. I think that one needs to expose the poop out of it, as the reciprocity response is not great.
After several excursion into the world of cheap film, I am thinking that I should stick to my current favorite black and white film, Efke PL 100 for 4x5 and 8x10. I know what it does, and the results are predictable. It is not as expensive as some films, yet has less correction for reciprocity failure than most films. However, for my big cameras, I will continue to shoot my lifetime supply of lith film.
Maybe I should learn the Swiss engineer's way (a la Rene) and test every film for base exposure and reciprocity correction using my own equipment and workflow, but that would take most of the sport out of it, would it not?
