Tarago Moonlight 1
Tarago Moonlight 1
A 8-minute exposure yielded this soft and ghostly image of a moonlit road under slowly moving clouds around midnight on a cold April’s night near Lake George.
The green-blue cast of the light comes from a long exposure on fast film stock causing the blue-sensitive layer of the negative to react more through a process called reciprocity, and shift the tones in the image towards blue. The long exposure also creates small shifts in the stars visible in the sky, but not so much as to detract from the beauty of the overall image.
