>>4460386I really like how night photos look on film.
There's an effect with old horror movies, and some newer ones (think 28 days later) where watching these films on older screens, such as CRTs has the films looking better than on 4K monitors/TVs.
If you don't believe me, try it for yourself, I named 28 days later specifically, as when I went back to watch the movie in "good quality", a lot of the flaws and limitations of the early digital cameras used to film some of the movie, fell apart.
I think there is a similar issue with night photos on modern cameras. The dynamic range, especially in the shadows, is so great that the image can lose some of the atmosphere and contrasts which make a night photo good.
Film with it's limited dynamic range in the shadows can really work very well then with night photography. And even when exposing with a bias towards the shadows, the highlight latitude can easily allow images in which the brighter parts are not blown out.
