Thanks. Now for something different. I wanted to try shooting up into my favorite tree in the backyard at night (again). I made this image with a 47mm XL a few weeks ago, but thought the Aero Ektar might be an interesting experiment.
The exposure was 4 hours, on T-Max 100 semi-stand developed in Pyrocat:

That is way too cool!!!:)
Funny story - I grabbed the camera after this exposure and went to climb back up the hill (we have a very steep backyard) and the camera somehow fell off the tripod. I put the camera on it in the dark and I think I had the hexagonal plate slightly cockeyed. The camera starts bouncing down the hill and I was sure it was going to go all the way down and splash into the creek that runs through the bottom of the ravine. But luckily it slammed into that tree in the photograph and stopped. A close call! Not a hint of damage and the lens, which is just glued onto the lensboard, stayed put, so I guess that was a good test of the glue strength...
