Nighttime is the right time!

I am deeply saddened to share word of the passing of the original author of this thread, Jeffrey Goggin ("Audii-Dudii"):

Very sad, indeed. His contributions and knowledge will be missed.
Thanks for passing it along, Oren.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I looked Jeffrey up long ago upon first reading of his night-time exploits here. If you'd like to put a face to the nickname, here's himself in his own words:

Rest In Peace 'Audii-Dudii'. Your presence will be missed, Jeffrey.

Sad to hear the news. His photography has been a pleasure to view. RIP.

Here is a post card I printed of a lunar eclipse gone wrong (5x7 neg contacted onto post card paper). The post card was taped to my office door for a few years.

Tri-X, 5x7, 28" (710mm) lens, multiple exposures (f22 @ 1/25th sec at 15 minute intervals), shutter freezing open during the fourth moon. Love it!

Lens -- a Turner Reich with the longest element on the rear, none in front of the shutter, on a cold evening outside Yosemite Nat. Park.

8x10 Kodak 2D w/ 5x7 back. Got to love the bellows!

April 23rd, 1997 (a week before my triplets were born). Looks not all that sharp...could have used f16 at 1/50th sec., but that is wide open at this focal length.
