Wow. Do your close friends call you "Tripod?"

1/2 sec at that enlargement, too.

I like it - just enough shown to raise the curiosity.

Very nice, Julian!

Back in my Minoxing days, I often shot at slow speeds - 1/10, 1/5 - often with great results. The Minox shutter produces zero vibration, so leaning against something and not breathing made the slow speeds very usable. Here's a night shot I did in the 90s with my IIIs, TMX at 1/5.

Sorry it's such a small image, but this JPG dates back to the era of slow modem connections and their "big" 100dpi images. I should find the print and do a higher res scan.

I like this shot, it caught exactly what the fun fair stands for: action, and fun

A great photo. Shows once again that it is possible to take wonderful pictures with this camera.

May I use your photo in my article “Triggering a Minox” as an outstanding example of blur-free shooting (apart from subject and composition, of course) with a Minox? Because it was taken with a 1/2 s from the hand it would fit in perfectly here:

More shots are ruined by camera shake than by any other shooting error. This essay combines triggering of a Minox with experience from sport shooting.

Ever since it was first published I have used the Jiffy Night Calculator for available light photography.
