This was a very interesting experiment. The image on the left was taken with the Hasselblad on the roof of the visitor center at Anza Borrego State Park. Rika had the great idea of light painting each of us into the scene while the shutter was open. So we took turns shining the flashlight onto the other person while they stood still. Exposure time was 20 minutes. We look a bit ghostly.
The image on the right was taken at almost exactly the same period of time using the Canon 30D on a second tripod, looking at the same scene. This image is a composite of 45 digital images, each 59 seconds long, for an effective 45 minute exposure. Note the color difference in the color of the sky between the two different cameras.
I did not set out to put these two images side-by-side. I was talking to another photographer about my compositional 'mistake' in the image on the left - that I have Rika and I looking out of the frame, not into it. He suggested a diptych, with us looking into the adjacent scene. Works nicely.
