Really cool photograph. The composition is perfect, IMHO, and the lighting is fantastic for the style.
I hate to be a doltz, but what does it mean after your shutter speed when you say Film rated at 400?

O.K. first I dont know what i did, but its the same image up twice. Second the shutter speed of 30s was at 100 ASA, this was taken at 400ASA and shutter speed adjusted to create a thinner neg. for better blacks.

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the feedback. In order to get a better black I pretended the film was faster than it is so i got less exposure on the film. I then develop the film at its real speed, in this case 100 ASA, technically underprossing it. If it works the negative is thinner, so good quality blacks.
Does that make sense, I may not have explained myself well.

Kevin:
Yes, I think I understand, but I will need to read what you said again to understand it completely as I am just starting to learn some of the more technical parts of photography. You and others on the site are really helping me with this, even by just looking at your great photos. Thanks!
Lisa

Well, Kev, you beat me to it! I have had this new bridge on my hit list for some time but just haven,t got round to it. It looks really good as a night shot and you have got a really good image, framed nicely at the top. It might have had more dynamic appeal as a vertical shot. Did you try that too? I love the star effects - presume that was because you were using f16 and not a filter effect? Look forward to seeing some more of your Mamiya shots.
