Are those white flares some vapour eminating from the cacti?
Enjoy the night shoots Michael.

Kostas:
UFOs are popular in the desert. And in Wisconsin, where cow abductions are common. Those points of light are stars and the moon - sorry to disappoint. No visitation in this picture.
I think I have devised a crude "shutter" made from a flap of aluminum when I cut apart a can of soda and flattened it out using a hilighter pen.
The flap basically will open when the wind from driving hits a barrier, and then it is spring loaded to close when the car is not moving.
I'll have to post the resulting camera - it looks pretty gruesome.

Ah.... Cacti! I considered that plural, but decided against it.... Thanks for correcting me...;o) I do believe it's a cool effect. Especially in combination with the tone of the sky; very Extra Terrestial.
Cheers,
Hugo

I don't know what that weird flare off the cacti is either... but it looks neat!

Hi Michael, when I read the title, I found nothing terracotta in it, but it makes more sense reading your about. I'm curious what caused the flare off the top of the cactuses; also, there seems to be a slight colour abberation on the right side of them, but that might also be a light from the right, illuminating them sideways. Very intriguing shot, with a lot of intriguing elements. The tone of the sky, the effects on the cactuses, the town in the background, and so on. A very strong embodiment of the way I "observe" wen leaving a Café...:)
Cheers,
Hugo

looks like UFO traffic in the sky of Arizona!
nicely lighted and well composed shot it is Michael,but your scanner hasn't done it justice - or these spots are REAL UFOS? :-P
now,about your nightshooting project: since your exposures would be long and the quality of your camera questionable i suggest using a slow enough film to get decent quality and low grain - i use 100 or 200ASA fujicolor superia. as for exposure times,i don't have a standard formula for my shots - they usually vary from half a minute to half an hour depending on my mood,the amount of lights in the route and the effect i'm after. start with 2mins@f16 with 100ASA and bracket around it (30secs - 1min - 4mins - 10mins) not to get the 'perfect' shot really but just to experiment with the various effects and check your camera'a performance. reciprocity failure has not been a real issue for me anyway,and software can help where needed. as for the procedure you're planning to follow,it's ok to remove the tape when start driving but i think you should put it over again BEFORE stopping the car or the shot would have parts of 'still life' together with light trails ;-)
good luck!
