7th Episode of the series "ONE DAY ON FILM".
This episode is devoted to Street Long Exposure Photography, a kind of Photography technique that I had never experimented.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date-Place : 18/06/16 - 22/06/16 Paris, France (La Défense, Metros, Cimetière du Père-Lachaise).
Camera used: Nikon F3 HP with a 50 mm & 35mm lens.
Film : Ilford HP5+ (ISO 400 pulled to 200)
Developer : FOMADON R09 (Rodinal) with Stand Development processing
HOYA ND4 filter + Tripod
As you can see, some of my pictures are not as sharp as they shoud have been. I simply didn't have a shutter release cable.
Plus, in some of the pictures, the crowd seems to have disappeared.The reason is that I chose a too long shutter speed. So in order to avoid that, I suggest you to use a shutter speed around 4sec (2 minimum-10sec max) to capture the crowd. Of course it depends on many parameters (density of the crowd, speed at which they are moving, light condition, etc). Long Exposure Photography requires a lot of practice to master it.
The more you shoot, the more you learn, better the results are.
So keep shooting :)
And yeah, if you want to shoot in the Subway of Paris (or whatever subway on France), better ask an authorization if you don't want to be expelled, or avoid to stay in a same spot too long. Of course and it makes sens, avoid to impede the circulation especially if you are in a tight space and if you are using a big tripod.

The aim of this series is to share with you my early experience on film photography and see how I will progress through the episodes and give you some tips/Advices.
