ESE night sky

These are two shots at the fifteen-second maximum that my Olympus XA

has. I have had other XAs with a maximum shutter speed of about

thirty seconds. What with reciprocity failure and jiggly surfaces,

there's not much odds about the difference.



There were jets passing overhead leaving varying and dissipating

contrails. The two pictures were taken with the camera on a gas

barbecue cover, taken from slightly different angles a couple of

minutes apart. Nice colours. Kodak ColorPlus 200 film.



Don't try to figure out the sky. Most of those star-like dots are

dust on the negative.
