Miles and miles from a city, so no light pollution. I photographed near midnight in July. I was a rank amateur then. About a month before I bought my first Leica, so it was a Pentax LX in '81. Film was chrome 400 speed film. Exposure with a 50mm 1.4 lens was wide open for 11 seconds. (That camera had an amazing meter, perfect exposures every time that night). Every picture was different, and gorgeous with the Northern light reflected in the water of the lake. Now I want to dig them up and scan them in and see if I can fix the unsharpness in the better compositions, and fix the hole Kodak punched in the exposure (focusing at night was a trick for me back then)!
