Here is a night shot taken with the M4 and the 35mm Summicron of the Mersey Tunnel entrance at night in Liverpool, England. The exposure on Ektachrome Pro 100 was 30 seconds at f/11 and the camera was mounted on the Leica Table Tripod.

Kool..I like it..well it looks like everyone has migrated to this "New Forum"

Ever think of using a Tungsten balance film , say like the Fuji 64T or the E64T or the Portra100T?

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing

I have used Tungsten balanced films but for this image I felt that the warmer colors were more inviting. At that time the image was created there were very few tungsten balanced films available.

Really nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

robert -

 

Most appealing. I suppose there was some irregularity in the pavement causing the headlights to appear as though everyone had been drinking and driving, but perhaps the latter is the explanation.

I think this is the Liverpool Old Haymarket entrance taken from a traffic island in the middle of the road. Iirc the cobbles went in the late 70's and Higsons Brewery was swallowed(!) up by Boddingtons about 1984. They used the Land Rover pick-ups (visible on left) to drag break-downs out of the bore.

The sign on the left definitely looks 70s vintage and Walkers Ales went the way of many local breweries 10 years ago (it's now a Tescos and a RL stadium...)

 

I just wonder where the R.F. went...

 

I will have to have a drive over and take a look for myself. (You drive through or along these places hundreds of times, yet can't remember what they looked like in the 1970s :) )

Hi Andy,

 

The photograph was made around 1966 when I worked for two years for Littlewoods Chain Stores setting up and doing the original photography for their audio/visual in-store training programmes.

 

And for the others the bumpy lights were caused by the cobblestones that were part of the pavement. As to the "garden shed" I believe that it was used to store some of the maintenance tools.
