Very well seen and exposed. But I'm partial to long night exposures in color. And I like the way the streetcar tracks lead you in and out of the scene repeatedly.
HiHo, a wonderful scene. Night time extended exposure looks very good as well as the obvious lengthy open shutter vehicle light streaks. Scrolling up and down on the image brings a thought of cropping down a bit as an option to eliminate the FG standing 3 street lamps. Just to above the traffic lamps. To me it provides immediate draw along the tracks and toward all the distant lights. As always just my 2 cents.
TFC, Thank You! I remember your subway shots & liked them a bunch. 'Would like to get similar perspectives w/ large ships coming up/down the Columbia.
Trail, Dang! Good eye! I wasn't sure I understood the cropping boundaries suggested, and took a stab at it. I stopped just above the traffic lights, re-read your thoughts & realized that's what you were saying. It looks *much* better.
As always, I sure appreciate your kindness in taking the time & effort to look & help me learn.
HiHo, crops always offer a variety of looks, at times. They're always optional to one's tastes of course. I thought this idea might be worth a try.....
Naeroscatu, I'm the rank amateur on the topic of reciprocity. 'Swithed to Acros in BW 'cause the ilford films seemed rather extreme in their need for correction. I've never found correction data for Ektar, so I used what I remembered from the honorable TFC of 1-30 sec - add 1/2 stop, 30+ add another full stop. As it turned out here, it was the first time I've overexposed that way. 1/2 stop over incident value would have been about right. Be aware that the colors don't stay balanced in long exposures - but they usually look good anyway.
