Western Span No.2
This is my second posting of a shot of the western span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. This was taken the same outting as the first version of this, this one on film and the other one was digital. After reading where someone had extolled the virtues of Kodak Portra for night shooting, I thought that I'd give it a try even though I alway prefer the results that I get with slide film at night. After some fair amount of tweaking in Photoshop, this is the end result. I don't think that it is as good as the first version and I don't think that it is nearly as good as what I would get shooting chrome. Also, while I love my Yashica Mat-124G, I do miss having interchangeable lenses as I had on my Mamiya C220 and C330S that were stolen. I guess that the only thing left for me to do is to take my large format Toyo 45CF out and shoot some slide film of the bridge with a wide angle lens so that I can get the composition that I want.
Update: I now have a Mamiya C220f and multiple lenses for it.
Camera: Yashica Mat-124G
Lens: Yashinon 80mm f/3.5
Exposure: Not Noted - I bracketed like crazy and this was the best looking exposure.
Tripod: Benro A-169 w/B-0 Ball Head
Film: Kodak Portra 160VC
Scanner: Epson V750-M Pro
