She was standing in the water. I was shooting Kodachrome 25. I could have used 64 at that time. Over my 105 2.5 Nikkor lens on my Nikon FM was a filterpack of an 81b or C filter, a polarizer and a number one tiffen fog filter. She splashed in the water and looked great (for the period). It was hand held. My effective ASA or E.I. I figured out later was the same as early Kodachrome: E.I. 6 or 10. The sun was out. No problemo. Now I get antsy with 100 only feel secure with 400 and would rather have 800 but would love 1600. Our cravings for speed have no basis in reality! What's wrong with our minds? Mark :-) Rabiner
