Back in 73' Vancouver Planetarium and George Norris' Crab double exposure




I used a ....

Koni Omega camera

120mm Kodacolor 100   

Negative size:     2  1/4"  X  2  3/4"

 

First photograph:

Linhof Tripod  set atop a pile of gravel where the Music Academy is now

 

@ 10 seconds  F 8

 

Reset shutter

 

Second photograph:

Linhof Tripod set between the Planetarium doors and the Crab

 

@ 10 seconds F 8

 

And Thankfully, the fountain was Off, 

And the Parking lot lights On,

And the apartment lighting almost non-existent,

And Thanks to H.R. MacMillan Space Centre,

The Koni Omega was great for weddings because of the film format matched the paper size, no cropping required.

Thank you e.a.f.

I sold a 'few' of the photos, the top half only, at 16" X 20" and then one of the technicians in the lab suggested using whole of the image which is much more impressive, and he was absolutely right.
