Hi all

this photograph is 13 years old: it was made with a Flat Field Camera F
= 760mm f / 4 with Ektachrome E200
(120) to its nominal sensitivity.
Exposed
for 90 minutes!

Danilo,

That's a truly beautiful photograph and brings many happy memories of film imaging back to me. The sweeps of dust above the Running Man are particularly well captured for this red-sensitive film. Thanks for sharing.

Danilo, that is out of this world!

You know, the same 90 minutes with a one-shot-colour CCD might not be any better.

Nice processing too, to retain the dynamic range in areas like the bright core of the nebula.
