Re: A test of long exposures

It was a clear night. I don't think the wondow was tinted. Portra film gets blusih with very long exposures. The monkey skull was by a window after sunset. Must have been some twilight plus street lights.

  Hi Bill,

  Excellent work!! Thanks for posting it. Naturally, they bring up questions, so hear they are:
  - Did any part of the overnight exposure overlap evening or dawn? Was it taken through a tinted window? Was is cloudy or snowy that night or was it a clear sky?
  - The parade photo is simply beautiful. Anything you want to say about it would be great.
  - For the monkey skull still life, was there any other light source besides the flashlight?

  Thanks again,
  Tom

    I uploaded three images which are the result of exposure times arrived at with less than microscopic precision. Specifically,
    http://www.pinholevisions.org/discussion/upload/overnight was just that, an overnight exposure.
    http://www.pinholevisions.org/discussion/upload/parade the exposure was "as long as it took for the float to pass me", and with http://www.pinholevisions.org/discussion/upload/deadbattery I taped a monkey skull to the end of a flashlight and exposed it until the battery went dead. It seems to be impossible to fatally overexpose something. All you get with more overexposure is better detail in the shadows.
