Oh the Excitement..

Excitement, CA, 2016

If given the choice I would opt for film when shooting night scenes over digital for several reasons as mentioned on here many times before.  Without trying to sound like a broken record I love how film reacts to long exposure over digital, etc, blah-de-blah. 
However, one of the benifits with digital sensors is speed (again as metioned on here too many times). When your exposure times are mere seconds rather than minutes it can open up all kinds of new senarios. You can be in and out and even shake it all about without being noticed. Handy when hanging around strip clubs, dive bars, or a Macdonalds..
