Been challenging myself to work my way through all the types of exposure "situations" included on
a home made cheater card based on empirical results. All using my Yashica 12 TLR and Delta 100.

Made my way down to longer exposures, this is a flood lit church near my house around 9PM. Lighting is from a large sign that is used to display details on service times, etc. 3 sec exposure @ f4.

Very happy with the detail! Wish my candlelight close ups were this decent)

Took this one of my boys yesterday. Developed it at home last night.

Here's a Lilly I found on a bike ride. Camera was a Nikon Coolpix P7100. It's done a thousand or so miles this summer.

Last minute entry, something from this morning's walk...

This one was a tough one for me I really love color. I think this one has enough lines and textures to hold up though.
