Now, my recallection of this particular evening is not entirely clear - it was in mid-December when Kyle was over on holiday. We spent remains of the afternoon on his housboat deck drinking beer and geniver (http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/test/europe/a7.jpg), waiting for Linda to return from shopping. In the early evening we moved on to Sander's and wine (http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/test/europe/a13.jpg), to a restaurant and more wine, to the bar for a nightcap. What I think I did was shoot wide open, meter the region through the camera, and wait... Kyle had his Coolpix along in the bar, but I don't see anything on his site as a cross-reference for the evening. He may post something in revenge... The images referenced above are from Kyle's Europe essay: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/test/europe/ I'm happy for any criticism, I find the comments made about others' work instructive as well, so use the opportunity for mutual benefit.
