I love the way the exposure is balanced with the sky.
Thanks Huss! I’ve switched to using a spot meter when shooting large format and it’s so much better to help get everything lined up. I metered the inside of the motel and placed it around +1 1/3 and then waited for the sky to get within range (around +2).

Smart move considering how much each sheet of film cost.
It must have looked like a scene from the 1940's. Setting up a view camera in front of a's motel painted in pastel colors and lit with neon, a cloth over your head. Sometimes photography is just timeless.

I am still working on finding the best way to convert my negatives. For scanning Valoi35 Easy is great with the TTartisan 40mm Macro. Smartconvert is fast and convinient, but looses out on highlight retention and flexibility. On1 Raw is good, but getting colors and contrast right is sometimes tricky. Darktable is in general my preferred choice, but I need to get used to Negadoctor but works better without scene referred modes is seems...
