How about a slightly better idea of just what it is you want to take pictures of? Streets by streetlight? Storefronts? Brightly-lit downtown districts? So far as exposure times go, any decent light meter ought to at least get you well within the ballpark. You do have a good tripod, don't you? I normally get paid for tutoring. Come to think of it, tuition has already been paid... |

You can find an article (as a pdf-file) about night photography on the site of Wolfgang Mothes. The article is that good that's worth to do the translation... http://www.wolfgangmothes.de/ Kind regards Fred Thanks Curtis M Utah State University Logan Utah |

A person stepping into the circle of light thrown by a streetlight 2. Recreating Edward Hopper's painting "Nighthawks" 3. Anything in illuminated fog 4. Train stations 5. Mannequins in a store window That's maybe a C's worth of suggestions. For an A grade he probably needs at least a 12 suggestion portfolio... |

I did some experementing lately in order to find a way to overcome the huge
contrasts in night scenes. I underdevelopped the film by some 25% for this purpose and compensated for the loss of film speed by overexposing by abt. 2 stops. Have a look at the result at http://home.tiscali.be/jant/04090301_75dpi.jpg (or http://home.tiscali.be/jant/04090301_300dpi.jpg for larger image) Film was Tri-X Prof 320 in D-76 at IE 100 and -25% dev. time. Good luck! Jan schreef in bericht ... I am a student at Utah State University, and am doing a portfoloio on night photography.

Check out this informative site--look at some of the tech tips and
galleries. If you use a light meter, compensate for reciprocity failure (may need as much as 2-4 times the exposure your meter specifies; in the beginning, bracket a lot), and I would definitely agree with decreasing development times to reduce the contast. Good luck, Sam |

I'm not very skilled in night photos, but I had good results with TX @
1250 in Diafine. Since Diafine do a lot of compensation, highlights (street lights?) are not blown up, and the underexposure (true film speed is still about 400) gives what to me is a 'night' look (dark shadows).

I am a student at Utah State University, and am doing a portfoloio on night photography... Tony Spadaro's site: http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/noct/nn0000.html May give you some ideas. 'O. Winston Link' did a good job of lighting up the night -- assuming the night happened to have a locomotive in it. There were a flurry of web pages of his work after he died in 2001 but most seem to have gone off line. Search "O. Winston Link" in google for a selection of sites. -- Nicholas O.
