photo from week 188 - IDAM Roc

reflected self-portrait with IDAM Roc camera and elephant hat, a photo by pho-Tony on Flickr.

For my self-portrait, I had to come indoors, but this was possible as the camera has a "B" setting. There is no tripod bush, so I had to balance it on the top of the tripod, meaning that controlling the shutter would be impossible without moving the camera, so I held a piece of black card in front of the lens while I opened the shutter and struck my pose, before quickly moving the card out of the way without touching the camera, the exposure was around one minute, so there is no trace of the black card or my hand moving it.
