Paris at Night on Cinestill Film
I’ve been experimenting with various kinds of film lately, including Cinestill 800t, a tungsten balanced film. It tends to create halations, or red highlights, around light sources. I took a few rolls of this film with me to Paris, and I tried using it during the blue hour, which is the time shortly after sunset, but before the sky is completely black. I had mixed results — I was shooting handheld, in lower light. I had a few shots per roll that I liked, including these from the Grenelle neighborhood where we stayed.
Le Suffren was lit up at night, and I managed to catch a nice interaction with a waiter and the patrons:
The Eiffel Cafe is on Boulevard Grenelle near the river Seine. I liked the way this photo turned out:
Pizza Fiorentina was on the other side of the Boulevard:
I’m still going through the photos from this trip, and I hope to have more nighttime photos to share soon.
I also just returned from a week in Italy, so plenty of Italy photos to come as well!
Beautiful! Love this film.
Thank you. Always the bright spot each morning!
