Cool shot.
Almost looks like a human type face right in the middle using the top 2 red eyes.

How do you shoot a whole roll?

Posted By Robert Watters

What I and others do is only shoot 1/2 or 1/3 of a 36 exp. roll and then take the camera to a completely dark room or put it in a film changing bag, open the camera and cut the roll. You then load the used portion of film into a re-usable canister and have it developed. You end up loosing some frames because of re-spooling it in the camera but it is better than loosing 1/2 or more of the roll because you can't wait to shoot the rest. smile

Hi Peter.
Yes, they then were averaged together with the other shots at different ISO settings.

Very Nice Mark.
How many shots did you stitch together to cover that amount of area?

I played with it a little. Not much I could do with the web version. How does the slide compare to the ones I showed you?
