Hi, all.
First of all, thank you all in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience. I put this post in the Style and Technique Forum, but since this is a film question, I thought I would post it here.
I am shooting in 4x5. I would like to know what other folks' experiences are with color film for long exposures: reciprocity factors, color shifting, contrast, etc. It would be great if someone had some experience shooting architecture at night or twilight with color film. I know that long is a relative term, but I would like to know what your experiences are with different lengths of time from a matter of seconds up to an hour or more. For instance, if you shoot mostly in twilight, what do you use, or dimly lit interiors, or outside in the middle of the night, what do you use, etc.
If you're able to reveal a source for this film, that would be helpful. If not, I completely understand. In the month or so, since I became interested in LF photography, B&H has discontinued two print films in 4x5 that have been recommended for portraits: the Kodak 160NC and the Fuji 160S Quickload.
Thanks,
David
