Facinating series. I especially like no.s 2 and 3.

I'm the same as Jeff, #2 and #3 are quite effective but rhe other two are a bit too dark.

Interesting series for sure. I prefer #3 but almost wish there was a little more to it. Were all these just moon lit or some other source? Some look like some sort of light but I can't figure out what.

They're all lit by sodium vapor street lamps, A50/1.7@1.7, ISO 1600, handheld, 1/10s to 1/20s. A moderate fog drifted through that night giving everything a light patina of condensation. The street lamps give everything a desaturated look. I brought up the black levels and contrast curve quite a bit to drown out the noise; ISO 1600 has been fine for me in ordinary use, but on near-blacks it looks awful. I'm tempted to print a series of the first one just to learn how much comes through on glossy paper as compared to this backlit screen.

Thank you everyone for the thoughts.

Busy elements but you have very good lighting. The mood is superb
