Roll 1

Without further ado, ARTS 2110 - Roll 1 - Fuji Acros 100
If I get a chance, once I dig up my notebook; I'll post the exposure details for all these.

On my way back from class in the studio art building.
1/60 f/4 Metered for shadows

Outside Alumni Hall
1/125 f/4

Also outside Alumni Hall. Some kind of third-year event to get recruit members to Alumni Club, which they paradoxically allow students to become members of before we graduate. The detail on these negatives is fantastic: I can read people's shirts at full size (I scanned it to be around 78 megapixels).
1/60 f/8 (metered for people, not sky)

Facing east, near where I live.
1/125 f/5.6

Clouds. That one looks like a cloud.
1/125 f/11 (partial guess, meter was unreliable)

A column. Quite possibly part of the de-renovation project to restore the original (superior) 'look' of Grounds... at significant financial cost.
1/125 f/4

Extreme close-up on grass breaking through clay. Realized later that using the macro ability of the bellows on my camera requires more light (since the lens is farther away).
1/125 f/5.6

For the viewbook; a view of the ampitheater.
1/60 f/11

In that mysterious alley beside (what was) Garrett Hall. This may have been removed by the renovations. UVa has a lot of neat places only a few feet from the paths people walk every day.
1/125 f/2.8




I attempted to zone meter this. I kind of failed; the range was too wide even for Acros (which is saying something) and I underexposed pretty badly. There is impossibly much dust on this negative; I've tried to brush as much out as I could.
1/125 f/4 (I took more notes on this, but considering how underexposed it was, I've omitted them)

Ivy growing out of a signpost outside of my dorm. Conceptually neat (the first in a series that emerged over the semester), but aesthetically kind of boring; I wish I had done this better.
1/125 f/5.6

A tree near Newcomb Hall. I printed this for my final portfolio. Not bad for the first roll of the semester.
1/125 f/4

Of these, I'd say between 4 and 6 of these 12 are identifiably from UVa Grounds (they were all taken on Grounds)... I'll have to work on this over the semester, I think to myself.
