I needed to condition a new batch of paper developer, and so decided to conduct an experiment and figure out some exposures for using paper negatives at night under compact fluorescent lighting. The scene is nothing special, just a lamp table with a duck figurine, illuminated from a single C.F. bulb. The metered exposure was F/8 at 2 seconds for ISO12 paper. I increased the exposure 2 full stops, to 8 seconds exposure, and am pretty pleased with the tones of this image.
