Okay, so it's November 13th, it's Tuesday, almost 10.30 pm, 10.27 technically. I'm standing outside the Buckhorn bar in Petaluma and I'm trying to photograph the establishment sign. I'm getting meter readings for F2.8 with ISO 800, recommending anywhere from 1-125th of a second to 1-1000th of a second for the lighter areas. In the darker areas I'm getting anywhere from 1-4 of a second, possibly to 8-15 seconds, just depending on how close I get to the neon sign. But anyway, I'm going to shoot now. I'll probably shoot several frames and make another note.

Okay, it's 10.45. I just finished taking four frames on the house of blood. The light, I decided to start with a frame at one half a second. Then go to one second. Then go to a quarter of a second. And then go to two seconds. So I took a total of four frames and we'll see how it goes. Yeah.

Okay, I just shot three exposures at Mario and John's, started at 1, 250th of a second, then 1, 125th, then the last frame for this role at 1, 60th of a second. I was getting meter readings at 1, 500th of a second, but I was compensating just for the glow of, you know, a little bit of glow with a neon. Maybe I should have started at 1, 500th of a second. We'll see. It's my first time shooting with Sinistil 800. So, see how it goes. I don't know. Take it easy Carlos. Alright, thank you. I'll definitely let you know.
