Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Sometimes I'm just stunned
I've often told beginners to not be too surprised if close up shots of plants don't work out, because even the slightest breeze will move flowers enough too blur them with a long pinhole exposure. Last night sitting on my back porch in the heat, wishing for a cool breeze, I realized that it actually was absolutely still. This Peace rose had been blooming it's little heart out and had some huge honkin' blossoms way out at the end of some pretty long stems. Common sense told me it would never work, but fortified by the shorter exposures available on a new wide angle (f125, 4 x 5, 2.5 inch F.L.) camera, I gave it a shot. That late in the evening it took a four minute exposure. The picture is uploaded to the discussion list gallery at http://www.???????/discussion/upload/gallery2002.php?pic=dvoracek _rose.jpg I will fess up to giving it one pass at sharpening in Photoshop, but I do that with every picture I scan, pinhole or not. I still can't believe that flower held that still for that long.
