This is really great Ben! So many things to like about this, thanks for sharing. I got a kick out of your shutter speed of 'many seconds'. A weird thing to comment on I know, but to me it was a reminder to have fun and not take yourself too seriously (I often overthink my process and need this reminder).
The only nit pick I could find is that the top 1/5 of the image seems a bit dark to me. That's reaching though, this is a really great image.
Thank for the feedback Isaac. I agree that the top is a bit dark. I lightened it a bit for this image, and debated if I should do a bit more. It's good to hear that I didn't go too far, and it could use a bit more light up there. The beauty of Ektar is that I have a LOT of latitude to work with so all the information is there. With regard to the shutter speed, I know that some people will write down their settings on each photo, but I've never really done that. I shoot almost every photo at f/45 so that part is easy to remember, but if this was 5 seconds, or 45 seconds, I have no clue. I was also going to post the lens I used for this photo, but honestly I don't remember if it was my wide angle or my normal lens. :-)
When I first started shooting film, I would question my judgement of the exposure immediately after taking a photo. That has faded with time since my judgement has been quite good most of the time. Now I just go with my gut, and figure that if my metering technique has worked for all these years, I really shouldn't second guess my judgement on a particular photo.
