Description

Shot this in 2005 with the ancient Canon EOS 10D. Updated the photo recently, but was experimenting so much that I cannot recall what I used to create this effect. I'm serious! I'm also serious that I shot this handheld with a shutter speed of 1/15 and a wide open aperture at ISO 400. Sheez!

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 35.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 10D
