B&W night photo's
Author: m1bprr

Back in the old days, the 50's, 60's, 70's, a lot of us were shooting black & white. I used a Speed Graphic 4X5 press camera, as did many of us. For night photography I used A Kodak Tri X film pack ASA 400, with a standard 3 minute @ F11 time exposure, along with fill flash. This is how it was before digital photography, and photo shop. You really worked for your picture back then.

You never knew what you had until you got into the darkroom.

But 40 years later you can still play around with the negatives, and in some cases it makes a lot of sense to digitize them and play with them in Photoshop....lots of stuff you can do with Photoshop that I could never do in the darkroom.....although I still enjoy my time in the darkroom.

So true, so true...

Should try some more night shots later this year. Have some interesting bulbs just waiting for the right subject.
