> Shooting long-exposure slide film is a good way to confirm this (no colour adjustment possible).

Or shooting long exposure with a digital camera that does not automatically adjust the color balance. E.g. take the raw data from the sensor, instead of a camera-generated JPEG.

Right. I was also contrasting _print_ film (negative process) as virtually all film-development would attemtp to "correct" shots for exposure and colour balance.

(Much of my experimental night photography was conducted ... some time ago.)

Hey, I did some of that too. Had my own little dark room and everything.

Working with film was, um, exciting? Not sure if that's the right word. Anyway, mistakes were final. I remember deliberating on the settings for a really long time before pushing the button.
