La Taza Coffee House, Belmont, Charlottesville

This was taken from the front of Fitzgerald Tire’s towards “downtown Belmont, in Charlottesville. A car drove through during the time exposure, and the headlights left a streak of light leading from downtown Belmont past the La Taza Coffee House.
I took this using a wide angle camera intended for architectural photography, a Plaubel Makina Pro Shift. It uses 120/220 roll film, and the lens can be shifted for perspective correction. The film was Kodak Portra 160nc, which is a low contrast color negative film, and more importantly, was on sale at the time. The exposure was two minutes at F-16. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t worry about it.

Hey Ed,
Nice depth enhanced by the light streaks. Like it lots. Dave
David
thanks. I got lucky and a car came by. It was fairly late at night, so I probably would have had to wait a long time for another car. . .
