W/NW Night Photos

Stars above Tahoe National Forest. A 1.5 hour, west-facing exposure at f/8.

On a side note, does anyone know if that horizontal streak might be one of SpaceX's Starlink satellites? I can find live and forecasted trackers, but haven't been able to find historical flight paths. Have any other astro photographers here run into issues with "pollution" from Starlink satellites? I saw one recent article about Starlink ruining shots of NEOWISE.

Nikon FM2n, AI Nikkor 50mm f/1.8S, Ultrafine eXtreme 400, developed in LegacyPro L110 at 1:31 for 5.5 minutes.

I haven’t seen a Dog ‘n Suds in more than four decades. Thanks for sharing.
 


Give us today our daily bread. Vung Tau night market. Fuji X-Pro1 - XF 2/18 R. The French introduced bread to Vietnam and the Vietnamese
re-engineered it, using rice flour instead of wheat flour. The result is a very fluffy baguette.

Taipai-metro: I am really liking you b&w night shots. The blocked up shadows and burnt out highlights tell the viewer they were really shot at night and subconsciously portray that mood.

I used to want to see big grain indicating it was hard pushed iso 400 film or something the old Kodak 2475 high speed recording film. But I have learned to live with the no grain digital image. Not liked no grain, only learned to live with it.

Decades ago I shot much at night, always b&w film. I kept experimenting with developers until I could print photos that almost looked daylight like. Then I finally concluded that I really did not like the results as they were diminishing the uniqueness of shooting at night. So I went back to the blocked shadows, burnt highlights, and big grain.
