This is great stuff! Did you have to pull the exposure any?
Thanks! This was 4 nights before the full moon, so the moon was only about 80% full. Digital exposures were 6 minutes at f/8 ISO 200. With film reciprocity, a good E100VS exposure for f/8 would be 20 minutes. Moving to f/11 takes you to 40 minutes, but with another 1/2 stop added for additional reciprocity failure, the one hour exposures worked really well. A few nights later when the moon was more full exposures were more like 40 minutes at f/11.
Moody and somber. I love the star crossing the broken fence.
Joe,
Love the image.
Love the fact that its film.
Are you shooting all film at the moment or is this a one off?
Best Wishes and thanks again for the donated print towards the Falmouth Print Auction!

Troy – thanks!
Jonathan – I often shoot with 2 setups: while I’m using digital for the shorter 5-10 minute work, I’ll have a film camera running for 45-60 minutes. Hope your auction was a great success!
Pretty damn cool image…
One of my new fav JR images. Very nice composition Joe and it looks like you nailed the exposure for a proper balance of the car and sky. I also like how the large foreground area shows the environment and adds attention toward the car. I bet there is plenty of foreground detail considering a wide angle lens at F11. Good combo for this composition.
Brad – thanks!
JW – thanks! Yeah, I may need to have this one drum scanned to make a print.
