Anonymous File :-(, x)
Sorry again for lack of resizing. Pic again with my 1st attempt at burning and dodging. Since I forgot to move around while burning and dodging, you can see where my 'template' thingies were. But it is a good example of all the information I want in the final print. Here's how it breaks down. It's all at f/11 no filter. I exposed the bottom right part at 21 secs. I like the detail here in this print the most. The oval shape is the spotlight, hence whiteness. The entire part with the old man and snake, plus the flight to mars sign is at 12 secs. Although I can probably get almost the same detail in a slightly less exp. time, the texture of the flight to mars sign (seen most in 'o' in 'to') doesn't come out as well in any faster exp. than this. and finally I exposed the sky+ferris wheel for 4 secs. This was my main flaw. I wanted the ferris wheel so much at first, that I didn't realize that the sky wasn't a true black at 4 secs. On my second attempt to burn/dodge, I'll probably replace this section using #3 filter instead.
>>>Any advice on darkroom techniques to get the detail of ferris wheel, information where glare is on bottom right, while still having enough range of tones overall? Also, do you think I could pass this off as great dof? Because of low light, and crappy zoom lens (and lack of tripod, because carrying one around the tx state fair didnt seem reasonable), all i think is mediocre or ok dof, rather than narrow or deep. simply, would you consider the ferris wheel in acceptable focus?
