i got thousands and thousands of views … So i thought I would make a little story about this shot. I love to play with every kind of camera and experiment new things. This particular medium format camera was purchased at zero image who does excellent cameras in hong kong ! I took this photo shortly after purchasing an vinyl reader and listening to some of the best classics that i took away from my father’s collection. I just put the camera on a vinyl, with my apartment natural light, i was reading a 4 mins exposure at f138, it was the exact duration of the first song ! I played the disk for the full 4 mins with the opened aperture… here is the result 🙂

thanks for all the twit and the people who shared this image !
