The first one of some 1800 digital pics shot with the DS during the carnival weekend in Boulogne sur Mer, Northern France.
The original pic has a very strong orange cast due to the sodium vapour lighting of the harbour. Played around to get a more neutral tone and eventually decided I like the B/W version better, anyway. This is one of three shots originally taken for a DRI sandwich but luckily it works rather nicely on its own. After years of medium format night photography I stil find that the most irritating thing about digital APS-C sensors (and 35 mm film as well) are those stars around the various lightsources in the frame. Not much of a problem in this one but a terrible nuisance in others which might otherwise have turned out great. As always, comments are welcome. Ralf -- Ralf R.
