    The guy developing the film is probably thinking you have some obsession with that streetlight.

      @tomw0815 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@grainydaysss - Rule of thumb is, that after 1 sec. you already have to take reciprocity failure into account. Depends on the film how much you have to comenpansate. I have an app for that but it contains no data for cinestill film. At 4 sec. measured time with Portra 400, you should compensat +0.3 stops (=5sec.). With Ektar 100 you should compensate +0.7 stops (6.5 sec.).

      @@AlexandreBiguet - Sure. It's an Android app called Exposure Assistant and it costs 4 EUR. The programmer collected compensation data from manufacturers like Ilford or from the web when the manufacturer does not provide this information (like Kodak). Choose the film, type in the measured exposure time and you will get the compensated exposure. For me as a beginner in night time film photography it's really helpful.

    You forgot to mention reciprocity failure, which is definitely important for night photography. I also think shooting slower speed films at night has value because reciprocity failure increases contrast, which if that's desirable for your concept allows you to get a two for one in less grain and increased contrast.

    On a cityscape like this (or anything else that doesn't move) setting the aperture to where you want it to be should be the your first step, I think. On this shot I'd like to see the exposure from your -1 shot without the filter at f/11 or smaller.

    @MB-or8js 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    My preferred night photography film is around ISO 100 - low grain just the exposure time is long, but this can be a benefit when shooting sea/water stuff in the image. I am using incident metering to get decent average of exposure time at night. You didn't mention to adjust exposure for the reciprocity factor of the film which is very important especially when dealing with long exposures.

    • @tallaganda83
      @tallaganda83 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Martin's Analog Photo Channel I do the same, a film like Provia will be faster than most films when you add in reciprocity failure.

  • @tallaganda83
    @tallaganda83 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best film for night photography is Provia 100F, hands down. Really good reciprocity characteristics and no funky colour shifts.

    Thank you for your video and educating us. May I have a question please, when you say "overexpose by 1 stop" do you also mean to process the film as it was overexposed (usually shorten development time) or just setting while taking exposure and process for box speed?
    Thank you
