Description — This is a nighttime photograph of 4th Avenue in Seattle, Washington. It was taken on November 18, 2005.
Camera Nerd Info — Linhof Super Technika V 4×5 view camera, Fujinon-W 180mm f/5.6 lens, Fuji Provia 100F film, exposure 15s @ f/8, no movements.
Commentary — This photograph was taken at around 9:00 p.m. local time. It is one of the few times I have “bracketed” my exposures with the view camera; i.e., taken more than one exposure of the same scene, since doing so with sheet film is so expensive. The only post-processing was an “auto” color correction in Photoshop, as Provia is not a film for artificial light. I consider the result to be pretty realistic for a long exposure of artificial lighting at night.
