The Brownie camera I used has but one shutter speed around 1/50th sec and only 2 f-stops. Kind of hard to force the world to conform to these limitations so I used a red filter which gave me an exposure of 4 seconds at f20. Most of the people managed to move during that 4 seconds but the one young lady co-operated nicely. I can't help but stare at her when ever I look at the image. Greg
