\"Dublin\u2019s<\/a>
Dublin\u2019s Grand Canal as viewed from Portobello Bridge in March 1998. Nikon F3T with with a 50mm lens, exposed on Fujichrome 64T color slide film.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I spent the evening working with my Nikon F3T to make photographs in my new neighborhood at Portobello, where I\u2019d rented a flat a short distance from the old Grand Canal.<\/p>\n

To enhance the effect of dusk and help balance for incandescent lights, I exposed this image on Fujichrome 64T, a tungsten film that offered a bluer-color balance designed for use with incandescent lighting. Years earlier, when I worked in a commercial photo studio this had been our standard film (albeit in 4×5 and 8×10 sizes).<\/p>\n

You can produce a similar effect with digital cameras by adjusting the color balance manually. Many cameras, including my Lumix LX-3 and Canon EOS 7D, offer incandescent light color balance settings. If you use the \u2018auto white\u2019 balance, it will tend to cancel out the bluish twilight effect.<\/p>\n
