I must say I am quite please with how this one turned out too. Quite a few moments before I had seated myself at the bar, introduced myself and ordered a Millers with the change I had in my pocket. At first the bartender wanted to know why I wanted to take photographs, but I mentioned it was for a personal project and he seemed quite happy with that, even diving into a brief conversation about photography before getting back to his friend.
At first I was reluctant to shoot, but I figured that I had asked them if it was ok, and figured that I could save that as a "card" for later.
For this shot, I added my warming filter, that, for lack of a better description is etched cross ways across the surface, producing this 'sparkle' effect on light sources. I had used it before and I've grown quite found of it, but I had struggled to get good exposures with it in low light situations. This faster film seems to be the perfect remedy for that, like the two where born to be used together.
My goal with shooting at the shack in these conditions was mostly to get a black or dark background around my subjects. This I think has been the most successful shot taken at the Shack to date.
Settings: 1/15 f2.2 with warming filter.
Camera: Pentax S1
Lens: Takumar 55mm f2
