Captured from the roof of a condo overlooking Lake Union. Cameras were 2 Hasselblad 500Cs spaced 40 feet apart. They were triggered with a switch that activated 2 car door lock mechanisms that in turn pressed my cable releases. The setup required me to hold the switch for the time of each exposure, wind the right camera and flip the mirror, run 40 feet to the left camera, wind it and flip the mirror, and then run back to my switch. Exposures had more to do with holding the cameras open for the bursts than for a specific time but I’d say on average I’d hold it open for about 8 seconds of bursts. Th3 lenses were 150 mm at f16, and the film is Fuji Provia 100F.

Second Place – David Brown’s photo, “Spider”
