I'll give y'all a few minutes to digest all that, and while I'm waiting, I'll give out our first EdenFantasys gift card of the evening.

I'm going to give everyone a minute or two to catch up before posting the trivia question less

OK, the first person to answer this question correctly will win a $25 EdenFantasys gift card.

The first camera developed to allow for "snapshots" because of its low cost and portability was first introduced in 1900. It shares its name with a level of Girl Scouts and a chocolate dessert. What was it called? less

Congratulations Antipova! I know, that was a softball. Yes, it was called a Brownie. Here is an example what one (a later model) looked like.

OK, back to long exposures...

The examples I showed earlier are just a small range of the possibilities for long exposures. I don't photograph people very frequently, but people doing activities in low light, especially with flashlights, is a great way to make an interesting long exposure. The following images will illustrate this.

In each of these cases, there was an very long shutter speed accompanied by various movements of people in the images with one or more light sources. In the first and last examples, you can't really even see the people in it because they were wearing black and/or moving so quickly that the camera never picked up a stable image of them. In the middle photo, the people in that were as still as possible with the exception of their arms. Truly, there is no limit to the fantastic works of art you can use with dark clothing and lights along with long exposures. less
