Evening at the Palace of Fine Arts

It was all fun and games until the fog came in!  And the fog arrived with surprising speed.

My goal for the evening was to practice using Instax Wide in a Lomo camera that permits exposures of up to 30 seconds to capture the PoFA as best as the film would permit.  There are some tricks to it, and the artificial light is especially yellow in the images.  This also occurred on my digital images at certain speeds, and the light is truly yellow, so it's not purely an artifact of the film: the color shifts based on exposure in any format.

Overall, I found the Instax tricky.  Images taken from a distance required longer exposures than I expected, say 12 - 15 seconds, while closer exposures were shorter than 10 seconds.

The photos with the sky visibly blue were tricky.  The intensity of the lights on the structure was too bright in some areas and too dim in others to make an easy print.  But I'm glad I tried this, and I'm glad I stopped once my tripod head stopped cooperating with me. 

It was a lovely night to be out.
