Night Photography with Holga.
Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 5:52AM
It's been a long while since I've done a night shoot. The lights on a wall going up as part of the new Beacon Hill light rail station was cool, and I knew if I didn't get out there, the image would disappear as the construction progresses.
I was out a little after 11 PM, and I was surprised by how much foot traffic passed by. I have always found it interesting that during the day, when there are tons of people out and about, no one will bother you or approach you if you've set up a tripod and camera. During the night, you'll always find at someone who will suddenly veer in your direction to see what you are doing.
Image will be posted when the film is processed.

The beauty of night photography is the additional effects and skills gained in shutter delay and moving lights. Some of my best photos have been done at night when I lived in the UK. Living in England during the winter meant that you could start nice and early because it got dark at 4.00pm.
I used to do a lot of photography with colour film and I could not overcome reciprocity failure. One good reason to move to digital cameras. I have in fact set up a site on digital camera reviews that can be found at:
