Long Exposures on Film in 2023

My first video documenting my journey back into color negative film, and learning a lot along the way.
This video includes film scans from three rolls of film I completed from February 2023 to April 2023. It's a long time coming, but I hope this video inspires the film community to step outside and do some seriously long exposures at night. It can be cold and exhausting, but it's a lot of fun.

Hey Jon, when you say 4 minutes, is that how long the shutter is staying open?

[@jonmerrittphoto]

Yep!
