Yeah, that's her Hamish. Her coat is slowly growing back. Very slowly. I'll post a fotie that I took the other day. Thanks for asking. (She's chuffed that she has so many people asking about her well-being. She asked me to say thanks to you on her behalf.)

Thanks, Beth. Here's the original "Dog In The Fog" fotie which I posted early last year.

Thank you, Andrew.

Shutter speed: The XA is an aperture priority camera (and since it's an old film camera it doesn't give exif info) so I don't know what the shutter speed was. I just set an aperture (probably about f4 or 5.6 judging by the relative sharpness of the fallen leaf in the foreground), set the shutter on self-timer, put the camera on the ground to steady it, and pressed the shutter release. My recollection on this one is that the shutter stayed open about 4-6 seconds. Thanks again, Andrew.

Sounds like a new hit for Lindisfarne to me!

Love the shot Brian - spooky as Hamish says

So, where you laying down at this point for some reason?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Beautifully spooky.

No, that came later in the evening, Chris.

Thanks for the comments, Chris.

thanks for the detailed answer, Brian. I've been experimenting with shooting in bulb mode - which is completely new to me - and trying to capture local floodlit buildings, so I'm interested in how everybody else is taking long exposures.

If you're shooting long exposures on film, Andrew, you may want to look up "reciprocity failure." Also, on their websites Ilford, Fuji, Kodak, etc., will give the reciprocity failure for their emulsions.

Thanks Brian, I just did look that up, and it seems fiendishly complicated at first glance, but then so did aperture at first.

Wonderful Brian. What an atmospheric shot - and I'm glad that you referenced that earlier one.
