Love this. Great mood.
I'm curious how you handled the reciprocity failure for such a long exposure.
I've only shot long exposures w/Ektar a few times but much shorter.

It had metered the scene at 8 seconds to keep the shadows where I wanted them but still have detail in the sky (moon was gonna be blown regardless). Using the reciprocity calculator app it recalculated exposure with Ektar to be 14 seconds so I set my timer for 15 to get a bit more room in the deep shadows. Funnily enough, this is the second exposure on this scene.. After metering and getting the reciprocity figured out I looked at the camera and saw a 15 and stopped thinking all together. So the first shot of this scene is a 1/15 second image, which is all black except for an almost perfectly exposed moon. Pays to have another sip of coffee and reset the old brain I guess..
