Show Me Your Night Shots!

And where the heck did you get 7x14 Provia100f film??
At that time I only have a Korona 7x17 so I cut that size of film in a 11x14 sheet...
Now I have almost all the size of ULF camera but no 11x14 camera. In fact I use a 12x20 one for the 11x14 sheet (with tape) and a 20x24 camera for 16x20 sheet film I have bought for almost nothing a few year ago (150 $ for 3 boxes... Yes... lucky I am...).

WOW! Lucky indeed!!! (And let's not forget skilled too).

I hope you saved the other 4x14 strips and did something with them!!

I didn't know they made Provia100f in 16x20...

No that was HP5, just to say that I often put sheet film in larger camera, or cut some other to fit the film holder.
But I do have 20x24 Kodak slide in the deep fridge...

WHAT!!?? E100G or older Ektachrome64? Or perhaps the fancy Ektachrome 100 Professional? Lucky duck!!

Good stuff, TML. I like the symmetry of both the photographer and painter concurrently capturing the bridge.

This is ektachrome 64 but it is expired since so many years (1987 !) that the colors are very strange... Still usable for Black and white after a scan.

I hope it's OK to ask a beginner question in this forum.

How are you focusing the night shots?

Are that you find a light source in the scene that is bright enough that you can focus and apply any movement that you want, or you set up before it gets dark and focus then and then wait for the sun to go down. If you have an assistant you can also have them shine a bright light toward the camera and have them stand where you want the focus point(s) to be.

That is exactly what I have done, also because the place in the mountain where I put my camera is not very large so I had to arrive first.
Here is a little video taken an other year after this successful night shot... This year it was not a good one... But we have had fun.

Awesome!!! You're right the 20x24 is fogged in a weird way, different than I've seen.

And I saw a 12x20 camera but then you had an 11x14 image, where's the 12x20 image?

Also is the 20x24 a Richard Ritter?

And who made the 12x20?

I know some info was written but not my language

[TML74]

I use a 11x14 slide with scotch tape in my 12x24 camera. It was made by szeto9898 or a name like that on ebay. Due to area restriction from ebay coming from nobody knows I can't see what he sell anymore. I don't know why.
My friend Aziz do use a RR 20x24 camera.
