This 15-minute, unguided exposure was captured onto Kodak Elitechrome 200 slide film by a Minolta SRT101 camera with a 16mm lens at f/2.8 mounted on battery-driven, motorized camera mount. The image was digitized using a CanoscanFS2710 and auto-contrast adjusted using Photoshop6 to bring the image back as close as possible to the original. Russell Cockman作者: 卢平α 时间: 2006-4-15 19:08
