I like taking time exposures and in the days before

digital photography as it was an activity that required considerable skill if one was to avoid wasting expensive Kodachrome 64 slides! Exposure times using 64ASA film at night obviously required a good tripod and a cable release to avoid camera shake from keeping the shutter release button depressed for some lengths of time. An exposure like this would have been in the region of thirty seconds using a medium aperture of something such as f8. By scanning the slides digitally I have been able to alter the colour temperature hue created by the ambient lighting. In the case of this image, largely illuminated by fluorescent lighting, there was a blue/green cast with the image presented here now having largely neutral lighting
