I want to shoot some night shots in parking lots, which contain mercury vapor

lighting, and I thought tungsten would work best, but my dad (professional

photographer) says that it depends, because sometimes the light is sodium vapor

which prefers a certain kind of film and merc vapor prefers a different kind

too. He also said Ill probably need filters.

Ive been wanting to go out and shoot at night, but I dont have a bunch of cash

laying around to get many different kinds of films and filters, only to have

them turn out crap when i pay to get the film processed...

Im shooting with a Mamiya RB67, by the way.

Any help on shooting at night would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I am a photography student from Detroit travelling to London on

May 1, and I will be there until August 25th. I am looking to work for

a photographer or anything to do with photography so that I may

increase my knowledge and gain experience in the field. Im looking for

a paying job, not an internship.

I have a valid work permit and will be recieving my National Insurance

number and all releavant information when I arrive. If youd like, I

can submit a CV and cover letter, and a letter of reference from my

History of Photography professor. My work permit is given to me

through BUNAC. Please visit the following link for more info.

If you know anybody who might be interested, or can point me in the

right direction, please pass this along!

Thanks,

Hello, Im looking to do some long exposures at night with colour film

using a Mamiya RB67. Ill be taking photos mostly of landscape but also

some urban landscapes with bright parking lot lights and those used at

baseball fields.

Im very interested in the works of Dan Holdsworth and Elger Esser.

Can you recommend for me some good films to use for this type of

application?

Thanks.

Okay, I was at the Tate Modern over Christmas, and I found this book

by a photographer that takes gorgeous photos of the NASA space

stations at night time. Just saturated with color, the stars clearly

visible, etc. But I cannot for the life of me remember his name. I

want to get the book! I dont want to have to wait until May when I

go back to England to find out who it is!

Can you help?

Can you process color slide paper in regular color paper chemicals

(i.e. prints made with standard color negatives)?

Im tired of dumping money into a university to take sculpture,

drawing, metalworking, fibers, and a ton of gen ed classes, only to

take about 5-6 photography classes, when its my major! This is going

to me my livlihood, and I plan on doing commercial stuff to get food

on the table once I graduate. Lets be realistic, fine arts

photography doesnt pay the bill for most of us.

I want to do a foundations degree over in London. On a 3 year course

at Camberwell, you study nothing but solid photography. All formats.

And the 3rd year they help integrate you into the career field of

photography. Problem is, its 9,800 pounds per year. So thats about

$17,300 not including living expenses. But still folks, thats about

$5,000 less than Brooks (which is an all digital nazi camp if you

ask me... i got accepted, but they wanted me to leave my credit card

number on the answering machine....nutzo).

Anyway, since I cant privately fund my education over there, are

there any good places to get scholarship money for international

education? I cant take the american university system any longer. Im

wasting my money.

Yes, I agree that for the time period, 25-50asa is most likely correct. But since I dont have the time to order any Efke film, I bought a couple rolls of Delta 100 that Im going to re-roll tonight.

The first roll I shot with was 400asa, and I taped a polarizing filter on the front. For such an old camera, the negatives came out rather good. They are a bit dense, but thats because my professor didnt bother to give me the correct processing time for the film, so most likely I overprocessed (the label on the film did not have a brand on it, and neither do the negatives. I think she got it from www.classicfilm.de). In either case, I looked at the chart at college, and 400 speed film ranged anywhere from 5-7 1/2 minutes, so I went with 6. At least now I have film I can process correctly!

Thanks for all the help!

Hello, Im using an old Brownie Six-20 Junior box camera for the

first time for a college assignment.

I have 2 questions:

1. What is the shutter speed (seeing as theres only 1 speed) of

these cameras?

2. What is the f-stop of these cameras?

Ive included a picture.

Thanks alot,

Adam
