Nocturnal Nikon

Last weekend a blizzard came through my town. Rather than sit around at home and listen to the wind howl, I put on some warm clothes and headed to our city center. My camera of choice? A Nikon F3T with Nikon AiS lenses 28mm f2, 50mm f1.2, l05mm f2.5. I stuffed a roll of HP5 into the camera and headed out the door. I got several nice shots, I think. I'm trying to decide which one (if any) to enter in my camera club's spring contest. Any suggestions from you guys would be appreciated!

Fifty views and no one has an opinion.

Handheld? Snow is such a good reflector that hand holding the camera at night is fairly easy. I like the tones in the first image. Ilford HP5+ was a good choice for recording these images.

I prefer the building front, 1st Pict. Upper left.

The third one. I like the first one too but the third one catches my eye quickly.

Yes, handheld. I tried to brace myself against something, or sat in a snow drift. I've always liked the smoothness of HP5. I shoot it in 35mm, 120, 4x5, and 5x7. It's very versatile. My other "regular" film is FP4+. I was at our town waterfall tonight with the Nikon F3T and HP5. This time I brought a tripod. The falls are really rolling right now with all the run off. I had my wife pick an image for my camera club contest since I couldn't make up my mind. (Usually it's the other way around. :) )

Definitely the building. It conveys a very strong sense of cold, snow and wind. I'd enter it in your club's competition.

The building is nice, but I like the statue/sculpture more.

Ditto for the Building. Well done!
