night time exposures - Bessa I Vaskar

I put the Bessa down on its stand, on a floating barge (so there was some movement), and then used a remote release and the "One Mississippi Two Mississippi" method of counting out approx 20 second exposures. I had the 6x4.5 mask in the camera.





I think the color balance of the second shot is more true, but I like the purply blue of the first. Fuji 160S, vueScan with Epson 4490

I like them both. You have captured a good DR there.
I'm not being funny but it is good to see some quality colour film images posted. Very well done.

My Thanksgiving embarrassment: I thought I loaded Fuji 400H into the Yashica Mat, but turns out when I reached into the cabinet I ended up with 160S. And this was so daughter could take pictures... they pretty much came out all too dark Crying or Very sad

That's life with film and a sieve of a mind.

thanks all for the comments!
