taken on an Olympus OM-2S in Auto (Aperture Priority) with a Zuiko 50mm prime lenshad a tripod and shutter cable to stabilize the shots, and i should have taken notes on the aperture i used on each shot but i simply didn't think to. contribute if you want, critique if you please
>>4537913suddenly remembering that for absolutely no conceivable reason, all of my vertical shots upload rotated 90 degrees so i may have to take time to fix that Film Feeder shot that i didn't expect to be in focus
>>4537914skipping 2 for now because there's some visible license platesi like how the exposed light bulbs here form a repeating pattern with the flare
>>4537916holy fucking shit kill me now why is the image upside down FW Woolworth International Civil Rights Museum
>>4537917Netanyahu is preventing me from posting images properly rotated if this doesn't work i'm just going to give up, just saved a copy of the scan from pdn so it should technically have un-fucked rotation data
>>4537918firetruck
>>4537919much prefer this shot, waited until traffic was moving again and got some interesting smears stellation of the street lights is much more pleasant
>>4537920street light here washed out a lot of the frame
>>4537921theatre crowd smearing past a security officer
>>4537923bro is surprisingly still
>>4537924now he hustlewo geht brüder?
>>4537925loan office mural vulgar graffiti
>>4537926the funny thing is that all these horizontal shots show up normally on my pc i guess they just have hidden rotation data that 4chan ignores same shot, differently exposed
>>453792715 and 16 are out of focus because this stupid bar was swinging in the breeze some furry put a sticker on the 6-7 car park height bumper
>>4537928flatbed train car not very interestingred glow kinda soft
>>4537929it's beginning to smear and you can see the light behind the car
>>4537930you can see the shadows on the train car and also some of the scene behind itlicense plate removed because it's in focus enough to read
>>4537931approximately the same shot, tilted slightly up and obviously later in the passage of the train than before
>>4537932string lights over a clean, albeit graffitied alley
>>4537933you better believe it's the same alleywaystring lights have more distinct stellation in this one, i'm guessing it was a smaller aperture?
>>4537934another one dot em pee four seems somewhere in between the others
>>4537935club / bar with a food truck that you can't really seeman's out of focus but i believe the gentleman on the right was the only one i saw who correctly believed i was just taking pictures of the nightlife
>>4537936vertical shot, most of the food truck is out of frame but the people are smearing across the frame
>>4537938same shot, different passersby
>>4537939intersection, road closed by police due to bar foot trafficrows of string lights street light unfortunately in the foreground
>>4537941same shot, definitely a longer exposure because the street light is even worse and you can see the string parts of the string lights
>>4537942005 was omitted because it was just a portrait of a nice woman who asked to be photographed when i explained what i was doingthis flapping gentleman gets to be included because he harassed me for change after repeatedly asking to be photographed even though i told him beforehand that i would not give him anything for being photographed
>>4537943crowd outside another bar, past the string lights
>>4537945same bar, slightly different crowd
>>4537946string lights in the alleyway between that bar and the adjacent one guess i had these shots locked in by the end of the night because it's pretty soft and the all the bulbs are highly stellated
>>4537948last one, just the empty train tracks leading to the station
>>4537949oh right, i needed to remove the visible license plates from 002 if anyone has critiques, advice, or just wants to post their own night photography, my stock of it is spent
LEDs ruined night photography.
>>4537965i definitely agreei spent most of the night hunting for true neons but one i found was itself harshly lit and the other was the site of several sleeping homeless, and i hate interacting with themi could easily have done a whole roll of just homeless people if i were doing a social journalism thing but so many of them are hostile, violent, addicts, and thieves that it makes even politely interacting with them dangerous
>>4537965it boggles my mind that, with LEDs that can be set to any color temperature, they are all set at daylight.
>>4537967got to make sure that everyone can see clearly at 10pm in the late autumn (:if the LEDs aren't emitting harsh daylight at the maximum luminosity, how will people see where they're stepping?
What film stock did you use, OP? V little grain - wauw.
>>4538065oh i forgort to say so in the OP Kodak Gold 200 ISO
>>4538066Is that a car being loaded onto a flatbed tow truck?Little hard to pick out the details here
>>4538032>got to make sure that everyone can see clearly at 10pm in the late autumnIt's actually the opposite: cold LEDs make it harder to see at night because they make pupils shrink and even for things that are brightly lit it might be hard to see detail because of LEDs poor color rendering. Basically high pressure sodium lamps were better in every way but efficiency and longevity. Like with everything else these days it's all about cutting cost and not improvement.
>>4538070Hps piss yellow with no color rendition. Great. Uh.. sure, gramps.
>>4538076Your retinas are just fried because you've probably only ever seen LEDs HPS lamps are great and don't strain people's eyes as much
>>4538104Yeah, hps has great colour rendition and my eyes are just bad :'D
>>4538106Limited but continuous spectrum vs one with gaps
>>4538106No, I have "bad" eyesin that LEDs give me headaches and make it difficult to see because they're never properly diffused and often are just naked point sources of incredibly bright light with a few insufficient reflectors trying to emulate the lighting conditions of better bulbsYou have bad taste
>>4538106Dumbass.
>>4538110What are you smoking?
Here's the continuous spectrum of hps. Have you people actually ever seen a hps?
>>4538114Continuous with valleys vs discontinuous, my point stands.
>>4538114I'm told by the wise schizophrenics and scheming viziers that it's the spike of short wavelength blue light that causes problems >>4538122Are you perhaps confusing LEDs with LCDs?
>>4538146
>>4538122No. Are you just trolling? That makes zero sense.
Like fluorescent tubes might be said to have gaps in their spectrum, because they have gaps. Incandescent bulbs have a continuous spectrum, although it's piss colored. Hps certainly does not have continuous spectrum. It has almost only yellow/orange light. These fucking people go on and on and on about shit like sony green or what ever... Jesus.
>>4538154Continuous vs full anon. The parts it covers are continuous. LEDs often have segments where it drops to black for a narrow band creating a colorblindness effect.
>>4538155:D
>>4537920Been dicking around with car light trails as well. Love the ghosting you get from the reflected light on the top of the cars. Here's one I took a week or two ago that has the same thing.>>4537938This one is probably my favorite just because of how much that lady's head pops out from the surrounding motion blur. Great lighting on her as well.
so many duplicates
>>4538174i love how long of a trail you were able to get from the taillights while the street itself appears empty and thanks, i'm very happy with those two myself >>4538178yeah nigga it's the whole roll and i've never done this before so i wasn't sure what would turn outfeel free to contribute
>>4538184Ignore the niggerkikes itt and keep posting anon. Put another roll through it and post that when you're done.Everyone should be doing this. We don't need 14 gear generals (thanks fAGGOT), but a dozen different anons maintaining their own threads over the long-term would really boost this board's general health.
>>4538189i'll have to find somewhere else to shoot probably, but since so many turned out in focus and acceptably exposed afaict i'll probably be able to take more different pictures instead of reshooting scenes to have twice the opportunity to get a good photo
>>4538184Cheers anon. I believe that shot was something like an 8 second exposure on 800T. I stopped down quite a bit (maybe F/16?) to drag it out longer.The cars were only going about 20 miles an hour, so it gave the light trails plenty of time to burn in, but the only car that it really caught was the one that slowed down to turn.The abandoned hotel in the background took up the whole block, so there was less lighting than the surrounding area, which is why I picked it. I think a darker street is probably the best bet if you're trying to avoid getting the cars themselves to show up in the exposure.Here's another example from the same roll. Parts of the car itself are only visible right under the street light.
>>4538203nice!the bright blue of the sky and the electric glow of the street contrast well, and the light trails are beautiful up close
