Bronica SQ-i, 40/4, Fujichrome Velvia 100[RVP], cross-processed.

A while back I mentioned that I stopped measuring times on my night shots. This was actually the shot that caused me to do it. I knew the location well having shot there many times before, and I knew what look I wanted too. I think this shot was probably about 2 minutes long in the making.

I discovered previously that the lighting is tricky here, and that I really needed a wide angle to pull off what I wanted.

I was thinking recently that it's kind of odd that I chose to pursue a landscape/urban based project when my main love is portraits. Odd too that the project almost demands a deep depth of field and wide lenses when my usual preference is for a short telephoto and a very wide aperture.

Although things don't seem so odd anymore after listening to The Alan Parsons Project for a little while. (I finally set up my record player and am in the process of revisiting some favourite LPs....)

Thanks again to Brian of course, who gave me this film.
