Waiting for the last tram

Nikon FE HP5

Night street photography in Nantes with the Nikon FE and HP5+. City light at night is far more generous than it looks — tram lines, shop fronts, and street lamps all contribute. HP5+ responds well to the longer exposures these conditions demand, and the grain that comes with it is an asset rather than a problem, adding texture to the empty platform and the trailing lights. See the full article: More Light Than We Imagine on IJM Photography.

NIkon FE HP5

A Clisson afternoon with the Nikon FE and HP5+. The medieval town’s light — diffused through narrow streets and stone archways — is exactly what HP5+ is calibrated for. The grain structure stays tight in the midtones, giving faces and surfaces real presence. Working at wider apertures keeps the shutter speed honest while pulling the subject cleanly from the background. See the full article: Clisson — A Guilty Pleasure on IJM Photography.

No happy Easter image and for that I’m sorry. Taken in my urbex days in a derelict psychiatric hospital. Have a happy Easter one and, all be the positive to the negative in my image.
