I went out to a "Farmer's Market" with my grand daughters. The plan was, to shoot them standing still while the crowd filtered around them. I used 100 ISO film and a ND 3 and ND 2 filters stacked. I had calculated for 1 to 2 seconds. I realized after getting the film developed, 2 things. 1: my 5 year old GD can't stand still that long, and 2: two seconds is a long time. The crowd would move enough at 1/2 to 1 second. The 5 year is older now and is into photography, so she should be able to stand for that long. Long exposure shots are fun. Actually, I've gotten both of them into photography and they both have Canon Powershots.

Moonlight photography, not the expression but literally photography in moonlight, is still more time compressive. Moreover, the lighting as rendered is visually a new experience. Contrasty film is okay, because of RF most films are contrasty with long exposure. The movement of the moon scans the light over a scene giving weak, light shadows when using a very long exposure. Surreal. Definitely not WYSIWYG.

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Yeah, star trails are all alike. When the moon is out the stars aren't. For those nights ruled by the queen of the night, scenes such as landscapes and urban scapes, when given long exposures, can look like noon on a planet with two suns. Pinhole them 'cus your camera has to stay out all night (or most of it). Some folks are making pinhole cameras from soda cans and leaving them to expose for weeks to months.

Given that (we) are all in the digital age of photography, why can people not comprehend the basic laws of light (Physics) ? It hasn't changed; the subsequent generations are having to learn the basics all over again. Like you Roger, I began with Analogue & moved onto Digital, & I still shoot both; the only difference being, the latter is immediate. Ultimately, I prefer the challenge of the former...but hey, each to their own. Excellent presentation - Thank you !

ND filters get much more picky for color. Color cast is so unwanted. With B&W it not an issue. Reciprocity handling could easily be a subject of video or two. Often you get by with calculations like (time in seconds)^1.2 or time^1.3 or whatever suits the film. Sometimes there is no info on film datasheet (other than do your own tests) and sometimes the info on datasheets can be just wrong. Not so much an issue with short exposures but when you get into several minutes it really matters. (and some films like acros need no compensation unless you're into extremely long exposures). I've used long exposures to get rid of people in the city and needed to use if for low light photography like in the night.

I love long exposures, but very few things aggravate me more than having to use an ND1000 filter (and yes, I know this is very use-case specific). I can't measure light, compose or focus with it on the lens so I always do all the measuring/composing/focusing work first, screw the filter onto the lens and then do the maths to add 10 stops to my exposure (or 11-12 when compensating for reciprocity failure). Even digital cameras aren't immune to this; the ND1000 is just too dense to be practical. Regardless of the weather, it always bumps my exposure times up to minutes rather than seconds, when I'm usually targeting under 10 seconds. I'm much more comfortable with a combination of a narrow aperture and an ND8 or, much more rarely, an ND64.

I forgot to mention that part Dominik. You can't see through to set up the shot. No so bad here. I had a handheld meter and I was set to infinite. Just had to level the composition prior to putting the filter on. But I know what you mean. It is a faff.
@DominikMarczuk

Isn't reciprocity failure happening because of the silver halide crystals already being struck by photons and not reacting to more? That's my understanding at least: the longer the film is exposed, the fewer silver halide crystals there are left for photons to strike. A digital sensor just accumulates charge (voltage or whatnot; sorry, I am not that tech savvy to know exactly) so reciprocity failure is not a thing there.

Have been debating getting a high-power ND filter to do this (but like you said, the big LEE and NiSi filters are quite expensive, but I usually try to get the 100x100mm filters so they will fit all my big Mamiya and LF lenses). On the topic of losing tripods... last year I was out taking some photos of a big mountainside electric star.. it was super windy and cold, and as I was packing up, left my tripod sitting in the parking lot next to me car... it was a Robus 5570 + Acratech Panoramic head. I noticed some people flashing their lights at me, but I just thought they were being goofy. After driving an hour away to my hotel, I noticed my tripod was missing, so drove all the way back, and thankfully someone had taken my tripod and set it up neatly against a tree on the edge of the parking lot. Whew... So yeah, a airtag or similar would have been handy lol.

Some nice shots there Rog. The locking and leg extension mechansm of that tripod reminds me of a Velbon Ultra Maxi L that I had and gave to my daughter a few years ago. It didn't cost anywhere near the asking price for this new kid on the block though!!! Just for information about ND filters, 8X ( or 8 times normal esposure time= 3 stops ) is 2 to power 3, 16X is 2 to power 4( 4 stops ) , 32X is 2 to power 5 etc etc, so this way it is easy to work out what all these mean. On the other hand ND 0.3 is one stop of light loss, ND 0.6 is two stops of light loss, ND 0.9 is three stops of light loss etc etc. Hope this helps.
