So on Monday we had another clear night with the stars out shining bright so i decided to try out an extreme long exposure on my AE-1 using a shutter release.
I intended on shooting from 22:00pm through till 04:30am then closing the shutter. But to my surprise when i walked out into the garden i discovered that the camera shutter had closed by itself. So i couldn't enclose the exposure time in the Exif data as i have no idea of how long the shutter was open for. I guess it stayed open for around 2 hours due to the length of the faint trails.
Also at the beginning of the exposure the moon was situated directly behind the camera and in this shot a lens flare looked as though it had crept it from the moons movement.
I'm aware that the AE-1 has an electronic shutter so it may have shut if the battery was getting low or if anyone knows weather the camera meters still in bulb mode and shuts on its own accord to prevent photos from over exposing. Mysteries!

Fallen leaves in an urban setting - KLCC Suria Mall, the small alley separating it from the Mandarin Oriental. A perspective from low down....at the gutter level.
Please dont mind the stain and scratches - My Mac is down...the graphic cards are blown. And this backup PC cant cope with the cloning, so i left the imperfections!

A straight shot to the rising sun with the lens stopped down to F22. Plenty of details in the shadows....the Tmax400 has incredible latitude.
A shot at the 8th Hole of the golf course, I was on my morning walk ahead of the first flight of golfers.

All you need to develop black and white or color film, from 135 to 120/220 or 4x5 sheet film. What you need apart from this is a dark room (as in "you shouldn't be able to see your hand in front of your face if you hold it a few centimeters away" – a windowless toilet will do), a working surface that is easy to clean (stainless steel will do it, I use the kitchen surfaces for this), and a kitchen sink for the color developing in order to keep the chemicals at an even temperature. You will also need a timer – a watch with a seconds hand will do the trick too.
Lots of notes in this shot, if you're interested. Make sure to check them out if you're curious about the various things on display (you need to click on the image in order to see the notes).
The equipment is not that expensive either. The prize here is the Paterson Orbital for 4x5 sheet film developing; if you find one (try eBay, you can't buy them new any longer: more info here – pig.sty.nu/wiqi/paterson_orbital.html – a good introduction, though you can use a lot less developer in reality) it will set you back anything from 40 dollars to a 100 – but then, if you're into large format photography this is not a large expenditure compared to the costs of cameras and lenses and film … the bottles, the jugs, the thermometers, the Paterson film tank – all these are affordable items easy to find second hand.
And it's much, much easier to develop C-41 film at home than people say. And cheap! I'm estimating a cost of SEK 10 per roll (SEK 5 per 135 roll, even), which compares to the minilab's price of SEK 59 per roll (SEK 118 for 220 film). This would sound more expensive translated to dollars, as the exchange rate is not flattering the dollar at the moment: but SEK 10 will buy you $1.50, give or take. It's that cheap.

No, they are not lazy lay about's - just tourist trying to shoot the Kuala Lumpur Twin Tower. It's cool just to watch the lighted pinnacles on a clear day.
I took this shot last week whilst on a street walk with Saripdoll.
About this shot - As you can see, there is a security guy approaching the scene. I had initially thought he was going to disrupt this foursome partying on the plaza, but it was actually me, the guy with the rangefinder that was his target. I don't want to make a scene, so hurriedly walked on.
