Night Photography on Film in Los Angeles

[@Miranda-zq3du]

yayyyyy night photography classic from willem!! get those purple street lights 💜

[@willysheepskin]

So rad that phenomenons like this exist out there, and especially rad when someone notices and decides to photograph em! 7:03 is a zinger of note! Out of curiousity, cus I feel like I've seen you doing this in the past, why not cover the lens when a car cruises by and then continue exposing once its left frame? Risk of camera shake? Or just that in that scene by the time you'd have seen the car it would already be too late to cover? Banger video as always man, stellar weekend when there's a Wheelem and a Willem video back to back ahah!

If you're ever in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, you'll see plenty of purple lights! I feel like 1/5 of the lights on most major highways are doing this. Every time I go back, there are more and I wonder how many years until it's a legitimate hazard.

very cool project, i love the simplicity, these LEDS fail and turn purple, i want to hunt down and collect the photos of these lights! very cool. and who doesn't love a little night photography!

[@trippwilsonphoto]

They're all over the New Orleans metro area. I didn't even realize they were special till you started this series a while back.

Nice video, great photos, and an awesome idea. Regarding the “issue” with the car light trails: would it maybe make sense to hold a piece of black cardboard or something similar in front of the lens whenever a car approaches? You’d keep the shutter open but essentially stop the exposure countdown, then let it continue once the car has passed and you can remove the cardboard. You know what I mean? So you would not have to „waste“ so many frames for such a nice shot! ☺️

[@vkysnyimazik4100]

Cool shots! Tell me, please, what kind of camera do you have? What camera did you take the photo with?

[@Iliya_sh72]

Analogue guy driving an analogue car 👌

[@owensteven_]

I've never tried this on the mam7, but have you thought about using multi exposure mode to start and stop capture around cars coming into frame ? I imagine it would work reasonably well, you'd just need to add/keep track of the total time across shutter openings.

@5:19 strong book cover vibes here

[@mathispyt8603]

Breaking persona at 4:45 "oh my god a baby kitten" i love it

[@tombrooks5933]

really great vid on night photography, but wait...were you in the new to you 911...or the volvo....but any audi??? where did that come from?

[@jagerbolt90]

Cinestill 800T in 120 format would be a TREAT for this.

[@DionisFerizi]

Why are your audi’s dials blue ? And not white/red

[@Leberkasbepi]

Never seen purple led street lights before.

[@miguelbayonjacobson]

you've been getting me into run and gun night film photography, any tips on finding quick composition while on the go? guess it also depends on the lighting situations in each place

[@prettiestflacko]

Willem when is the photo book coming out? Will you announce the release date in advance? I’m paranoid I’m gonna miss the boat and it will sell out. I’ve been anticipating it for a while

[@Tectonicia]

My neighbourhood still has the same yellow streets from the 2000s. The LED lights are reserved for the highway in my country.

[@owensteven_]

huge Greg Girard vibes

[@rowan5230]

When you say 1 minute does that mean with or without exposure compensation?

[@bucknerfilm]

el Cerrito plaza Bart station in the east bay is littered with purple right now

[@schalkwillmake]

Very curious, where did you meter for the 10:29 photo?

[@zanelynch4748]

Bro I went out to derby Kansas and I seen one maybe every block or 2

[@jasonwroyal]

does that app account for reciprocity, or are you not taking that into account ?

[@brandonbigler4033]

Their some purple street lights here in El Paso with some being a entire street.
