Canon A-1 | 50mm f/1.8 | Fuji 400

I may have been a bit bold trying to jump straight in to nighttime photography on my very first roll of film but I think I was able to get away with it. This was shot at EV+1 which I think held the shutter open longer than I expected, causing some shake.

Reminds me of this beautiful music video by Portugal the Man. One of my favorite to this day. It's a great shot! The shake gives it a soft glow. The soft glow is good! At least, in my opinion.

Nice! Edit it this shot from the Crow 2 and you got your album cover.

Yeah, +1 with that film is equivalent to ISO 200. You'll get long exposures at night. C-41 film is actually quite forgiving, you can push it to EV -1 and trade speed for grain size. Even -2 in a pinch, depending on the scene and your tolerance for high contrast / low shadow detail.
