Seattle at night
Seattle at night, shot from West Seattle. The light on the water comes from the city lights reflecting off the clouds.
This week's assignment in my B&W1 class was to do only one print, focusing on "self expression", using all the darkroom techniques we've been learning over the weeks. The whole semester we were alowed to shoot with only one film, Kodak Tri-X 400, and never with exposures over 1 second since we're not supposed to know about reciprocity failure yet. So when I told my teacher I felt really limited with short exposures, she just gave me the go ahead to try long exposures and even suggested I try slower film (Efke 25). Freedom ! My local shop was out of Efke 25, so I just picked up some Ilford Pan-F Plus 50. I can't say enough how this scan doesn't do the print justice.
7 min 10 sec exposure.
Hasselblad 501CM
