Night shots

Exposure ~15 seconds

(unfortunately this causes some blurring - and because I stupidly didn't us the timer to take the shot there is a bit of camera shake evident in the lights)

Can you recall the ISO , aperature & f stop?

I would say the blurring is caused purely by shake & not by exposure time, unless the ISO could affect this.

It's ISO 200 film (Fujicolor) and the exposure was up around 15-20 seconds.
Can't recall the f-stop.

The camera was on a tripod but there was a msall bit of wind about and also some mist in the air...which (as it moves in front of the scene) causes some blurring.

I used to hang the camera bag from the tripod when its windy..

I must get back into long exposure shots! there's a certain mystique about them:)

The lighting in the shots came out ok, lighting flare was minimal possibly helped by the misting?

I'll post some in the next few weeks for ya to give out about. I've changed from a film camera to digital. Minolta Dimage A1, I'll see if I shoot something nice!

blur is very distracting .. use faster film, at least ISO 400, and as large a f-stop as you can (1.8 would be great).

Just looked at your gallery, and judging by the work I am sure you know all this already .. whoops

I shall wait until later in the year when there is less moisture in the air. The first attempt at this (done last Feb) was much clearer but because I didn't have a tripod that time.
Am looking to do a set of these night shots of Dublin as there's a lot of potential - any film recomendations for best results?
