Show Me Your Night Shots!
Hi everyone!
I'm in the process of looking for my first 4x5 camera and am planning on taking lots of night shots, especially using the movements. Thus, I was wondering if you could share some of your large format night shots for inspiration (not just for me, obviously :)
Hopefully I'll be able to add to this thread soon!

One of my very first LF shots when I restarted a few years ago now.

Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
I already posted that one but it was just selected to be shown at a local photography gallery's exhibition.
In that case I used the back tilt in the opposite way - to increase the convergence effect.

Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
Lots of great shots here, especially like the focus in the speed graphic shot.

Probably been more than 20 years since I have been up that late (early?). I see what I have been missing :)

I really like that first one Chris. Nice job maintaining details in both the highlight and the shadows!

Taken at twilight. 1m 15s exposure with Tri-X. Some front swing and rise, and possibly a little front tilt.

Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
For a while now I am working on a series of night cityscapes in Hamburg. A nice alternative to landscape photography during the winter season - which is very dark over here.
This one is a recent one from the series: The Hamburg TV tower and the Mövenpick hotel (in an old downtown water tower).

Thanks Braca and Steve.
For reasons that are probably obvious, I'm partial to Vinny's shot myself. Really good:

Thanks, Peter. The wonders of handheld, very low level fill flash!

On Portra 150 with Technika IV, Schneider 150 lens.
Exposed for 4 minutes at halfway between f8 and f11.
My favorite light is the nautical twilight about 42 minutes after official sunset. With the lens set as above, I make three exposures, one at 2 minutes, then 4 minutes, and finally 10 minutes. Usually they all turn out to be usable images.

Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
My first (and by far the last) LF transparency. Somewhat postcardish, but anyway:

Yes, the view is really impressive (this is Moscow intl business center, some towers are still under construction).
Shot last week, half of an hour after the sunset. No polarizer, RVP100F plus a warming filter plus some LAB tweaking (sorry, analog purists).

Why warming filter? Isn't V100f already pretty red normally?
-
Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
I was under the impression that RVP100F is a quite neutral film, though a contrasty one.
The twilight was apparently blue. I can't afford a color meter, so I exposed one side of the holder with a light warming filter, and the second side with a moderate one (85c). The first transparency turned out bluish and dull, and the second one was OK.

Here are a couple more to keep it alive.
My house at night (cropped) with 4x5 Super Graphic

And a nine-hour star trails taken from my back yard with a Linhof IV. It is a little blown out ... but after all it was a nine hour exposure!

Re: Show Me Your Night Shots!
One more. This is a half of a 4x5 frame masked by half a dark slide so it is really a 2x5 panoramic.

+1. Reminds me of the landing site for the mothership in Close Encounters.

HP5 Plus. Actually, Acros is my favorite film for night shot due to its reciprocity characteristics. However, as I'm learning large format, it's a lot easier to make mistakes on a cheaper film!
