Painting with Light and Other Things

Painting with Light and Other Things
Large subjects inside large buildings are a photographic challenge.  Churches make a good example.  If someone were to simply fire off a home use camera, everything beyond about five pews would be very dark.  This photo was made by painting with light.  It also involved three separate exposures on one piece of film.

Equipment
At the time my camera was a 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch square format Yashica D twin lens reflex camera.  The photo in the Introduction was made on Kodak Ektachrome at about 80 or 100 ASA.  The Yashica D has a leaf shutter in the lens, not a focal plane shutter near the film, like most 35 mm single lens reflex cameras.  A leaf shutter makes multiple exposures on one piece of film very easy.  The camera was mounted on a tripod for the photo in the Introduction. 

(The photo is from Google Images.  I no longer have the Yashica.)
