Thank You !
See all

Behind The Lens

Location

Sarasota, Florida USA

Time

Sunset

Lighting

All available light (except for dock lights & houses) at f22 with 100 speed film

Equipment

Hasselblad 503 CXi, 80mm f2,8 Planar, Fuji Reala 120 film, tripod, available light, long exposure (~50min.)

Inspiration

I was photographing lightning on the 4th. of July at sunset to get the trifecta of the lightning, sunset & fireworks all in-camera on film only (no post-production).

Editing

None, it was done all in-camera on film!

In my camera bag

Hasselblad 503 CXi, 80mm f2.8 Planar, Nikon FE-2, Nikkor 16mm f2.8 fisheye & lots of other gear.

Feedback

Use negative film for long exposures, stop down the lens to f22 (remember to balance any artificial light with available)
