It's just using a coat thrown over his head and camera to cut out reflections from interior lights. A squashy rubber lens hood pushed up against the glass would be another way. I took this the former way(MX with SMC Pentax-M (probably) 50/1.4 a few seconds at f/8 (again probably) http://www.flickr.com/photos/eric_f/2348802874/in/set-72157604145683559/ I don't think I quite managed to cut out all reflections somehow. -- Eric -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
