Hi Cory, Thanks for taking the comment on my pic. With regards to taking the pic earlier, that might have worked but I don`t think the lights would have shown up as well, it wasn`t even dark yet when I took this one. You are correct about detail in the boats, Royal Gold 1000 did not push that well to 3200. Is there a good 3200 color film out there? "Sanary Sur Mer at Dusk" by Allan Meller is also one of my favorite photos, as Allan did not mention the ASA speed and aperture settings (which I would like to know), it was probably very dark when he took it, since it was a 2 minute exposure. I still feel bad that I didn`t take time to email Allen and congratulate him on his work. Of the several pics I took that evening, this one showed the best because of the framing of the lights on the island, and the reflection of the lights on the water between the boats. Maybe it would have looked better with the boats in foreground centered, but IIRC the lights on the island to the left did not look as appealing in the dark Spotmatic viewfinder.
