July 1st is Canada Day, and you know there is going to be a fireworks show!! While waiting for the show to start on English Bay in Vancouver, British Columbia I decided to make a long exposure to catch all the boats moving around the bay. Someone out there decided to fire off an emergency flare and soon all the boaters were firing them off. Throw in a few jets coming and going from the airport, some onlookers along the shore and the moon for good measure and you have an interesting recipe for a unique image. Image was made with a Linhof 617 using a 17 minute exposure.

Is 80 seconds considered long around here?

Yes, what is a "long" exposure?

My exposures under the redwoods run around 30 seconds to 30 minutes.

The movement comes from the built in mechanics of the bridge.. Which makes it a machine in and of it's self I guess

One of my favorite photographers is Rhienhart Wolf , he is known for his building shots with lens up to 1800mm ... I always thought to myself , I wonder what a 7 hour exposure of that building would look like.. Or a set of buildings

my Painted Lady... discovered this in an abandoned warehouse facility in the middle of downtown Phoenix. They actually hold "rave" parties here, I found out from the owner, who happened upon us while we were shooting. This is right across the street from the 4th Avenue Jail, made famous by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Anyway, we were allowed in to photograph what we wanted. This was painted on an HVAC duct. It was very large, maybe 4x5 feet. This was the first time I ever got a "zero" on my light meter for the shadows. I think the highlights were "3". The duct curved away from me so I had to use a small aperture to keep everything in focus, f45 or f64, if I remember correctly. The resulting exposure was 9 minutes.

I think it turned out pretty good. I actually think it is the actress Annie Corley (Bridges of Madison County)... maybe I'm wrong, though.

Folks,

An experiment of mine, where I took two images from the same location...

I knew that nearly full moon might be visible later in the evening, if the evening clouds would break, so I sat at this location for way too many hours, talking to myself, drinking beer, slapping the pesky mosquitoes, and eating a few stale boring sandwiches. :)

The first exposure caught the late evening clouds above the horizon, where my exposure time was approximately two seconds, and the second exposure caught the wheat field lighted by the "Waxing Gibbous Moon," where the exposure time was approximately thirty minutes. I used my 8X10 dark slide to cover the bottom of the negative during the first exposure, and I used the dark slide to cover the top half of the image during the second exposure.

It seemed to work, so I am going to try this again...

Yes. With such a long span, it has to move or it would simply snap. You can often feel the movements when you are on it.

Here is one from Nojqui park in Santa Barbara county. This was a 29 minute exposure on the 8x10. There is a trail that goes to a limestone waterfall. During this exposure several families stopped to ask questions. The best question was the one from the guy who wanted to know what that small opening was in the lens. When I told him I was making an image I thought he was going to pass out! He did not realize that he would not show up. Sure was fun to see his expression, though.

Jiri,

Good old fashion tape, where the dark slide was placed in front of the lens taped to the lenshood, lined up properly while looking through the ground glass... :)

I remembered an old trick, such as this, while doing wedding photography from my university days.

Hi,
A lot of great images on this thread.Really enjoy it.
I have a question to Jeffrey Sipress and Alan Davenport.What film did you use for those images and what kind of reciprocity failure adjustment/filters?
Also,this question was probably discussed somewhere in the past ,but which color films in general are better for longish exposures(not a true night photography but a dusk/dawn/slowing moving water or just low light images)?
Thanks,
Vlad.

Hello Vlad,

In colour transparency films, I have found Kodak E100VS to be quite amazing for night and low light imaging. Kodak E200 is arguably better, but only available in 35mm and 120 roll film sizes. The majority of my night and low light images are done with those two films, though lately I have added Fuji Provia 400X for certain types of shots.

Ciao!

I have to ask... you didn't know how long the ceremony was going to last, you measured the light with a light meter and you got some reading... how do you go into translating that into this perfect exposure with all the adjustments you need to take in consideration (because of the long exposure)? Luck? Photoshop? Experience?

long branch saloon, luning, NV.

Schneider 270mm G-Claron. 11 minutes. Of note was my poor planning. The tripod was in the pickup bed to get the elevation I wanted. I was in a 'rest area' across highway 95 from the saloon. It was late November and it was about 13 degrees. If I opened the truck door to get inside to keep warm it would jiggle the camera. Not only that, I had no time piece. So I walked briskly round and round the truck to try not to freeze to death and counted out the minutes sticking out a finger to keep track of each minute counted. No, Virginia, I don't have 11 fingers. When trucks would pass in front I would hold up a broom to block the lens.

I'm surprised you don't carry an "emergency" kit of a blanket or a big towel, it's tough to stay warm in Michigan when your car stalls or skids off the icy winter roads. I always have a big fleece blanket in the trunk. I know it gets cold in Nevada too.

You carry a broom? :cool:

Oh I made them stop the ceremony halfway through, the photo was more important than some dumb wedding LOL.

Actually I think it was EV 2-3 so I figured it was a couple of minutes wide open, so I stuck about three of my darkest filters (PL, Red, Green, etc.) on for maybe a 8 or 10x factor, and just left it open for a little before and during the whole ceremony and the couple's departure, then I remembered I left the 4x5 up there. Maybe 90 minutes? The exposure is off by a couple of stops so a lot of that is heroic Photoshop work, but I've found just educated guessing works as well as anything else.

That's the only commercial wedding I ever did, I never liked the idea of being a wedding photographer. Given the economy I should reconsider doing them though.

Ok, this is my first attempt at a long shutter speed! I was originally going to try this shot in color, but I decided I'd try it in B&W (tri-x 320) since I can process it myself for cheaper. 2 hour long shutter, 90mm at f8, focused on the moon, waited for the moon to go down, then opened the shutter for 2 hours.

I'm pleased with it! Though I think the 90mm is distorting the star patterns, and 5 or 6 hours would look better than 2 hours!

I personally like the effect you got with the 90mm.

I'm not too sure about the longer times. That would give the moonlight more time to pollute the rest of the picture and the star streaks wouldn't stand out enough. The streaks would also become lines that go completely through the picture. Right now you have just enough exposure from the moonlight to make the hills stand out without too much effect on the star trails.

I like it.:)

So a few of us were out shooting in the DuPont Circle area of DC a month or so ago(Scott Davis and others..) and I found these people playing their street chess. I dunno, I just kind of felt compelled to make a few exposures. For some reason what I see in PSD/TIF doesn't not translate properly to JPG - so my apologies. If I could post my TIFF's you'd understand. Until I figure it out, this will have to do. Both taken with a Horseman Woodman 4x5 with a DaYi 6x17 back. One with a Nikkor-W 150mm f/5.6 lens and one with a Schneider 210mm f/5.6. I think the exposure was something like three minutes and twenty seconds at f/11 on Plus-X 125.

yes, it is in a forest hiking trail, trees covering the sky a bit. I was walking backwards (holding the camera at my waist facing forward) and a friend of mine was facing me walking forwards at the same pace, about 2 yards away or so. some sort of stedi-cam thing might be fun :) could probably build something quick and dirty I think.

I posted this shot in another thread a while back, but I have had it rescanned, and Digital Fusion in Culver City, who always does beautiful work for me, really brought the best out in the image. This is in Harpswell, Maine, in November 2005, shot with the Tech V, Xenotar 135 on NPS for I think about 20 minutes while the sky was still light, but ending in relative darkness.

Well, at least you have a great story to tell whenever you show someone that shot! Nearly getting killed during the photographic process definately adds value to the final product! ;)

How close were you to the oncoming traffic when you made the shot- was there any shelter in front of the tunnel?

How close were you to the oncoming traffic when you made the shot- was there any shelter in front of the tunnel?

I was on the edge of the sidewalk with no shelter. The thing about shots like these is that I like to be as close to and as high above the traffic as I can get so the 'plane' that the lights are in is as spread out as much as possible. In this case I used a step ladder and my Reis at full extension which puts the camera up at around seven feet. I had the two legs an inch or two in from the inner edge of the curb or about eight inches in from the edge. What I do is get everything setup with the camera at a regular working height and then raise it up the last few feet. I make the final adjustments from the ladder. I NEVER do any thinking up on the ladder. I only do one or maybe two operations and then get down and think about what's next before going back up. I'm only 18 inches up but you can lose sight of where you are really fast if you try to consider the whole process.

In the case with the 120mm Nikkor I couldn't really see anything through the glass besides the path of the headlights. I had my girlfriend shine a flashlight at the lens from the "do not enter" signs to make sure of their positions and I used the inclinometer on my iphone to level the camera horizontally and make sure the standards were parallel.

One interesting thing about that shot is that there is typically a very narrow window of time during winter that it can be executed as shown because of the traffic patterns. Right now the time between the street lights that are behind me turning on and the traffic thinning out is usually about 20 minutes. After that time the cars don't stack up into the tunnel from the intersection (where I was nearly hit) and so the concrete isn't illuminated by the brake lights.

Claudio,

This is in Powell River BC at the site of a large pulp and paper mill. About 8 or 9 hulls from old freighters have been toed into place and put together in a line to act as a breakwater in the harbour around the mill. They are about 40 or so years old now and quite derelict. Rumour has it they won't last much longer, but the question is what to do with them.

hi, my name is eddie.....and i am a junkie.....a collodion junkie! everyday i feel the urge to use....no matter what i do the monkey on my back forces me to do it........

today at 3:54pm on dec 19 here in NY i made this exposure. my 1st attempt was 15 sec....nothing. this one was between 2:45 and 3:50 min. i had the camera set up in my kitchen facing out the door. i opened the door for the exposure.

i even dried the plate with a hair dryer just so i could scan it.....this way you no longer have to look at mu fingers in the photo. :p

today we are having a pretty big storm. we are supposed to get 12 inches.

8x10 CU with 5x7 back. 5x7 black aluminum. 12 inch turner reich at f7.

Spiky, that is a stunning 10 minute exposure. Some of the interior lights have a strong cyan cast. I presume because you were using T64 against fluorescent lighting. Two of the windows have whiter light from the tungsten.

Hi, Kev

I don't have a home page (yet!). I had a domain wich redirected to my gallery on photo.net, but some guys bought a domain with my name, probably, trying to sell it to me later, winning some money but I'm not going to buy them nothing. I can live without a home page, at least for now! :)
I already changed that on my profile, excuse me for that, I didn't remember that I had the old link on my profile page.

Anyway, I'm still learning to photograph, I'm doing this more seriously for 7 years or so, it was when I bought my first LF camera, a Linhof Technika III.
By this time, I'm trying to find what I really like to photograph, so, I'm not very worried about publicity!;)
However, I've published photos on some magazine and books (B&W Magazine, for example, wich was a big honour, to me!!!) and sold some photos and published my first photography book last November.

Well, this photo was a huge amount of luck! I was out just for trying a Cokin filter holder wich I had cut out, (I cutted out two of the filter guides) to see if there was any vigneting, with the Super Angulon 47. This stuff (I don't know the right name for these eolic generators, in english!) is about 1 mile from my house, I went there because I knew this could be a good place to do those experiments. This cloud apeared running really fast (the wind was really strong that day) when I was just ready to press the cable release. Incredibly, the cloud aligned exactly with the propeller!!!!
Sometimes I think the old "decisive moment" stuff has more to do with luck than with photographic skill!!!!:D
I think Cartier-Bresson was a lucky guy!!! He was, of course, a great photographer but also, a lucky one, I think!
Of course, there is a nice story about Wagner, who was accused by his composer and musician pairs of being a lucky guy because he was living near the king and nobles and he was being supported by them.
He answered the accusation like this:
"You are right, I am a lucky guy but, when the luck came to me I was working, at my piano!":D

Sorry for my poor english but, that's the best I can do!!! I hope this is understandable!!!

Bloody net, nowadays I spend most of my day writing in english, french, spanish, etc.
Many times when I'm speaking my own language (portuguese) I find myself thinking in english, french, etc, trying to find the right portuguese word!!!!! And the biggest problem is to mantain a serious conversation in a foreign language! I hate it! It's so easy to look like a schmuck in a foreing language!!!!!:mad:

Misty #5 is a silver contact print from a 8x10 negative, printed on Agfa 111 Classic FB paper, sellenium toned.
As to my book, it's a book about the wine, vinyard and all the stuff that is involved on the process of the wine culture, the vinyards, the people who work on the whole process of culture and transformation.
I was born in a wine culture zone, 50 km from Lisbon. I grew up seeing all the people involved in this activity, working on that. I worked a few summers, when I was a youngman, collecting grapes to make wine. it was a (hard) way to raise some money for hollydays.
Two years ago, the mayor of Torres Vedras, my home town, invited me to make this book, "Da Vinha ao Vinho", wich means "From Vinyard to Wine". The book is a very nice deluxe edition, it was the most important release of the year in that little town. It is distributed only by the city hall but, they are doing an excellent job in promoting the book. There is, also, an exhibition of 77 fiberbase prints (I printed all, at my lab) wich is now on the road, in severall towns in Portugal and will be travelling all over Europe. Unfortunatelly, most part of the photos are medium format, I have just a few 4x5" photos, otherwise, I would post some of them here!

Thank you for your interest!

Thank, Kev

it's not big deal, here in portugal, we used to study english and french, at school, it was part of the educational national program, now, only english is part of the program, wich I think is not correct, because most part of European Union speaks french.
As to the spanish, is not very different from portuguese, we understand each others well.
But, you know, it's always difficult to express yourself in a foreign language, especially, when you are trying to comunicate complex ideas.

Pure luck only brings a great picture once, your average is way beyond! :)
Well done.

Hello Jukka,, nice shots,,, how in the world was you able to figure out the exposure in that first shot?

Thank you!

When I visualized the image and begun the exposure, there were much more light. The night fell faster than I had expected, so after I realized that it's way too dark for my original exposure time (which was about 8 minutes) I thought about times when I did lot of star and sky photography. I remember that ISO 400 film and exposure time 8 seconds with f/4 gave usually bit too light skies at suburb areas.
I calculated the final time 1 hour from that exposure. The film I used was Neopan acros 100 which does not suffer much from reciprocity. Probably additional 1/2 EV (30 minutes) would done good for shadow values but after waiting of one hour, I was so frozen that I thought that one hour have to be enough :)

Is this a collodion tintype or Rockaloid? Either way, it seems WAY overexposed.

I agree exposure is way off, just getting the hang of this, but still happy I got something

It was a dry plate...I guess it's similar to the rockaloid? I'm using the rockland positive developer but with some liquid emulsion a friend gave me. I'm not sure which one it is though-it's just in a small black bottle. I guessed liquid light so I metered it at ISO 1.5...but that was obviously wrong. It could be AG plus-that's apparently a faster emulsion.

The photo was taken in the creek that runs behind my house, I shoot back there all of the time and exposures are generally long. For reference, I've shot that same location with my 4x5... F/45 on Efke 25 is about a 2 minute exposure. The tintype was at F/32 and the aforementioned 8 minutes.

I'm currently sick as a dog, but once I start feeling better I plan on taking the 8x10 back out to the creek with a few more plate holders. I'll probably meter at ISO6 this time-we'll see what happens!!

30-Apr-2009, 18:49
if it is regular old liquid light
it is about asa 5 or thereabouts.
if you have a blue filter, put it on your meter, it will
help you with your exposure.

Our LF group (Midwest Large Format Asylum) went to Grand Rapids, Michigan last month for our outing. I tried experimenting with exposing at night & using a compensating development. I was pretty happy with the results. The film is Tri-X 4X5 (exposed for about 5 minutes) and the developer is HC110 using the dilution found in Bruce Barnbaum's book.

Something new for me... night photography.

My daughter is taking a life drawing class at her school on Wednesday evenings. I pick her up from school, take her out to eat, we sit in the courtyard at school while she does her homework, then I drop her off at 6 PM. Then I have 2 hours to get something on film with the 8x10. These are my first three attempts, all in Phoenix. All Arca 8x10 on TMax 400.

Ah, Indian School Road. Brings back good memories. I worked for a few years in Phoenix, well, actually 2 weeks in Phoenix then back to CT for 1 week. Did this for a few years. Got to the point where I would sometimes wake up and not know what state I was in for a few moments. But the people were great. I would pass Indian School Road on my way to Camelback from the airport.

Nice shot! It looks like a floating city.

Jukka,

That looks like a ship called The World. People purchase condos on The World for $1M on up depending on the configuration and number of rooms. The ship tours around the world once a year, stopping at many ports.

You own the condo so you can bring guests along. Sadly I don't know anyone who owns one of the condos.

They have a constantly running water taxi system so passengers can go back and forth from the ship to the port. I saw it once, moored out in the harbor of Bar Harbor, Maine.

Anyway, I am guessing that's the ship. Can you identify it?

Al, I'm guessing Oasis of the Seas, which was built in Jukka's home town, Turku.

YouTube has some cool videos of it squeaking under the Danish Storebælt bridge to get out into the open seas.

Yes It was in the news the night it passed the Great Belt Brigde. For some wierd reason they closed the Bridge for road traffic when the ship passed. Some of the guys in the surveillance room was, hmm lets just say, a bit vorried :p

This image is not exactly unique - I could almost feel the worn tripod holes as I positioned my tripod. It's the last picture out of 50-odd 5x4 b&w pictures on my 204 mile 23 (non-consecutive) days walk on the Cotswold Way that I've been recording in my photoblog - www.virtuallygrey.blogspot.com. I finished the walk earlier this week. My final blog entry (in a few days time) will be my look back on the walk.

The Cotswold Way is a 102 mile long National Trail running between Chipping Campden and Bath which I walked in both directions with my 5x4 gear.

The full set of b&w pictures is at www.virtuallygrey.co.uk/portfolio65493p1.html.

I'm way off the "suggested" reciprocity abilities of the film here, measured LV -2 on the sky above me, gave it 2 stops darker than that, corrected as for T-Max + 20%... so I arrived at 12 minutes.

I just noticed, looking at the work-sheet, that this was a ten minute exposure on Ektachrome T. It is weak daylight cominig in two windows - but the background is painted that way to project the light further across behind the subject shadow side.
Taking about Inv.Sq.Law; the left side is flagged over to dodge excessive exposure.
However, no artificial window can match the real thing for what you might call 'throw'.

Still Life with Nookie
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5043/5349864690_6bc768a086.jpg
I also posted this in the January Still Lifes thread.

I was a little reticent about putting this image up. It's a little playful and a little naughty, and it has a not-well-hidden joke in it. But, my wife assured me that it wasn't in bad taste, so here it is.

This is the first test drive of my 12" Darlot Hemispherical lens. Using the Jim Gali method of determining f-stop with an unknown opening, which in this case was 4mm, and a bellows extension of 452mm, the effective f-stop was f114, which put my measured exposure at 7 minutes. Using the official Ilford equation (EC=EM to the exponent of 1.48), my reciprocity correction for HP5+ shot at 200 ASA was 2 hours and a few minutes! I opened the packard shutter, and walked away. In developing, I subtracted 15% for the lower ASA, and 20% for reciprocity, leaving me at a developing time of 9 minutes (yes, I fudged the time because I wanted slightly more contrast) at 68 degrees. My developer was PMK Pyro. The negative is still a little thinner than I wanted, but when using a graded paper, it pops quite well.

Camera: Calumet C-1 with 8x10 back.
Lens: 12" Darlot Hemispherical.
Film: Ilford FP4+ developed in PMK Pyro.
Contact printed on Arista II RC Grade 4 (discontinued, drat!) developed in Ansco 130.

Thanks Liam, I appreciate it. That first picture was made with an 8x10 camera on Ilford HP5. I can't recall the lens (either a fuji 240 or fuji 300) as it was some years ago. I do know I used an ND filter to smooth out the water. As far as developing goes, at the time I was having a lab develop my film and then I would make the prints, so I'm not sure. Nothing special though-just 'normal' developing.

Oh, and I made the shot out of a second floor hotel room window, which worked great to keep off the wind!

It's just paper covered with fluorescent paint.
The exposure needed 10 h with UV-light.
Maybe I try this again with a strong UV-Filter.
But I don't know where to get the ASA 3000 film in 4x5 or 8x10.
Or is pushing a slower film an option?

Critics welcome.

Post-flashed** grade 2 paper negative, 8"x10" format pinhole box camera, 20 minutes exposure. The Catwalk in southern New Mexico, between Glenwood and Silver City.

~Joe

(**Post flashing: giving the paper an even, dim exposure of light, after the in-camera exposure and right before development, to improve shadow detail and tame contrast. Results similar to pre-flashing.)

I believe that this one may have been posted on a different thread, I think about reciprocity. If I am repeating myself, my deepest apologies.

This is a nine hour exposure made in late November, after nautical twilight in the evening to before nautical twilight in the morning. The photo shows the blowout from the headlights when my backyard neighbor returned as well as from window lights.

The film, as I recall, was Portra 160VC. The aperture was between F/8 and f/11. The camera is a Tech IV with too much rise for the 150mm Symmar.

I'm very interested in long exposures. While I don't have any LF long exposures, I have dabbled in it before, with my digital SLR. You can check out my pictures (http://www.flickr.com/photos/11460465@N02/sets/72157608363714141/) on my flickr account.

Anyway, I see a lot of great pictures here, but I have a question. Some of these pictures were taken with some kind of light available, like street lamps and such, but the pictures I've taken have had no sources of light. Sutro Baths, here in San Francisco, where I took my pictures, was pitch black. I could not see the ruins. It was only after the 8 minutes or so of exposure that I was able to see what was behind the darkness. Later I tried to do a long exposure of the Golden Gate bridge, but, because it was illuminated, I got nothing, I mean, I had a smudge of white because of all the light. Some of you guys, however, also had light and managed excellent shots.

My question is this: how do you do it? Go easy, I'm a newbie and I'm trying to learn. Thanks.

To tame the highlights, you can:
- use a compensating developer (like highly diluted rodinal).
- shorten your development time.
- in-camera dodging, which is using masks in front of the lens while photographing.

I cannot think of anything else, but there must be something else you could do...
