One subject, One roll, Moonlit Lighthouse
« on: March 11, 2015, 11:57:04 PM »
I shot these Sunday morning at 4 or 5 AM (depending on daylight savings time), I should of been out there 2 days earlier, to catch the full moon. -they are a little under exposed from what I had planned, after I got home and checked my notes I realized I accidentally shaved about 30 seconds off the lighthouse pics due to faulty math --I wish time was measured in metric.

bummer about the miscalculation but you got some potential here... is the first shot at about five minutes? it would be cool with a longer exposure and longer trails but maybe the light in the lighthouse would burn out a bit more than you'd like?

How long where the exposures? 30 seconds at night does not have to make that much of a difference. Many of mine are in the 8-15 minute area, 30s would have meant nothing.

Did you take into account film reciprocity? If shooting anything other than Acros that is very important.

I like how they turned out, is that the West Point light house in Seattle?  It's been years since I've been out there.  Nice shot of Mt. Rainier as well.

-more accurately reviewing my notes...I did calculate for reciprocity loss, it was a pretty bright night and these were shot at f3.5 , my meter read 30 seconds, I was supposed to calculate that to 210 seconds, which, in my half-awake-coffee-less mind I somehow interpreted as 2.5 minutes not 3.5 minutes -so I actually shaved a minute off the time, I'm going to head back out there and re-shoot.

Really nice set.  Top 2 are my favourites. Such a feel of tranquility and calm.
