Ship Loader
A transition from sunset sky to night lighting becomes a colorful canvas for an industrial view shot on daylight balanced transparency film with no added filtration. Tom Paiva previsualized the colors that would be created in juxtaposing the twilight against the heavy mercury vapor lighting of this ship loader conveyor belt and the sodium vapor lamps on the concrete support structure.
