This plastic fruit and milk glass bowl used to belong to my late Mother. I was reading the manual for my new camera, and it said it could take exposures while set on automatic from 1 second to 1/1000 of a second. Nowhere did it say it could take longer exposures than 1 second in automatic aperture priority. I was testing the cameras with the batteries and before I put in some film, and I found out that the camera would take longer exposures, depending on the subject and available light. So, I made some test exposures using low light to see if the camera would expose things properly. It would! This bowl of fruit was lit only by one light in my living room and the exposure lasted for 35 seconds. It wasn't supposed to be able to take exposures this long. I always try to push my cameras to the limit and see what I can get out of them above and beyond normal requirements. The film was some old, expired York film, so I exposed it at 25 ISO instead of it's rated 200 ISO. That was what it needed to get a decent exposure, apparently, because this shot turned out perfect! Except for a little bit of extra graininess from it's being expired. And I can't tell if it has a bad color shift or not, because I'm color blind. Camera: Minolta X-7 Lens: Vivitar MC 28mm, f/2.8 Film: York 200 Color (long expired and shot @25 ISO) Shooting Program: Aperture Priority Automatic Adjustment: +2 exposure Aperture: f/16 Shutter Speed: 35 seconds Date: May 6th, 2020, 1.38 a.m. Location: Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A.

I pointed my camera at the North Star to see if I would get some star trails with a long exposure. It worked, but it really needs to be done at a place where there aren't street lights and automobiles driving past. The lower edge shows this extraneous light that it picked up, with a street light on both sides, just out of the frame and below the bottom. But not bad considering I was trying to use a broken camera. The shutter curtain was loose, so I taped it out of the way and just took the lens cap off when I was ready to start my exposure.

"....Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week." This is the downtown area of my little town, Norris City. It’s decorated for Christmas and holidays can be lonely when your loved ones have passed on. This camera is broken and I didn’t think I would ever get to use it. But, because it’s broken in a certain way, namely the shutter curtain is loose, I was able to improvise and get it to take some images.
