Night Photography?
Anyone into it?
It's a boring Saturday Night, so, I'm thinking of grabbing the Hasselblad and heading into town for a few hours of darkness. I have a hat full of Fuji Provia 100, even a few rolls of Kodak Ektachrome 100 Plus (might use one roll). Have some other stuff too but I'm thinking of just using the Provia 100. Don't have anything higher than 100 ISO, but that's ok, I have time...
Me, the Hassy, some Fuji, and the Tripod, going on a date.
Anyone into Night Shooting?
Got pics to show off? I'd love to see what you guys have done.
I'd use my rangefinder but I'm running way low on 135 film... like, down to 3 rolls

Do you guys have TTL? I know the M8 does, or do you use a hand-held meter also? I'll be using my Lunasix tonight.
Nice shots, by the way.

I just shoot wide open and use the longest shutter speed I think I can get away with (1/30 or 1/15). No metering or tripod for me...

Too late today, and for perfect night shooting I like navy blue sky after the sunset with no clouds. Later the contrasts are too high for my taste.

I have a user mode for low light shooting.... Aperture priority, auto ISO up to 640 when the shutter wants to drop below 1/60th. |

Stick with the Provia. You won't have to worry much, if at all about the dreaded R word.
R being reciprocity, as in reciprocity failure.

Did two rolls of Provia 120. It'll take a while to get them developed, but, that's ok, I have more rolls to shoot while I wait

Only about once a year
usually 4th of July, we set out tripods and practice long exposures.
A few times a week, especially since summer, we've had to go scouting for the cats with night vision equipment. I wish there were an easy way to glom a camera onto one of these things.

I cheerfully use both: see http://www.rogerandfrances.com/subsc...0lowlight.html. It's a mixture of low-light and night, but about a quarter of the pictures are night shots in the open air, and another quarter are night shots indoors.
Cheers,
R. |

Here's a bunch from Vienna:
Two with the Rollieflex 3.5 Delta 3200 @ 1600 hand-held.
and one Rollieflex with Tri-X 400 @ 400 hand-held
Another with the MP 28/2 Summicron Delta 3200 @ 1600 hand-held.
And one from the bedroom window in Istanbul with the Tower 35 Nikkor 50/2 Tri-X 400 @400 hand-held
