It was a clear night. I don't think the wondow was tinted. Portra film gets
blusih with very long exposures. The monkey skull was by a window after sunset.
Must have been some twilight plus street lights.

Hi Bill,
Excellent work!! Thanks for posting it. Naturally, they bring up questions,
so hear they are:
- Did any part of the overnight exposure overlap evening or dawn? Was it
taken through a tinted window? Was is cloudy or snowy that night or was it a
clear sky?
- The parade photo is simply beautiful. Anything you want to say about it
would be great.
- For the monkey skull still life, was there any other light source besides
the flashlight?
Thanks again,
Tom

I uploaded three images which are the result of exposure times arrived at
with less than microscopic precision. Specifically,
http://www.???????/discussion/upload/overnight was just that, an overnight
exposure.
http://www.???????/discussion/upload/parade the exposure was "as long as it
took for the float to pass me", and with
http://www.???????/discussion/upload/deadbattery I taped a monkey skull to the
end of a flashlight and exposed it until the battery went dead. It seems to be
impossible to fatally overexpose something. All you get with more overexposure
is better detail in the shadows.
