"ProMaster" brand: it was awful. It fell apart when I pulled it from my shirt pocket for this shot: the outer rubber sleeve flopped off the end, making a slinky metallic whizzing sound as it brushed against the inner wire. Don't buy one.
This was one of the longest exposures: 20ish seconds. I had to hold the cable release together. Yeah, it fell to bits but I wasn't going to press the shutter on the camera body, either. I had to hold it together for the remainder of these shots until I could get to the camera store where I bought it and return it. I wasn't gonna go earlier; I wanted to kill two birds with one stone and take my latent film in at the same time.
This one I really felt the missing 4mm. I didn't want to tilt the camera since it would make the pole look like it was tilting and the ground actually went downhill behind me until I would have backed into a hedge anyway.
The cable release slipped from my fingers and fell apart and I didn't get the count I metered so I reshot this one. It really seems like that will be unnecessary in the future, there's barely any difference despite exposing for a further four seconds, so 1) five seconds was more than enough despite the meter recommending nine seconds and 2) reciprocity failure makes the extra time barely any more effective anyway. I do think nearly all of these from all three rolls are overexposed. Film is quite, quite different to digital. I have much to learn.
