Explanations on how the picture was taken

Mar 25, 2012,01:13 AM
 

First, i used an electrical wire to shape the letters. Then i fixed each writing on a black support.


In a room almost completely dark, i left the shutter of my camera open and, with the help of a pocket light, i follow the wire.
When writing was done, i removed both support and wire. In this way, none of them will appear on the picture.

While still in the dark and with the shutter of the camera open, i waited ten more seconds and switched on the light in the room for 4 seconds before to switched it off.
Finally, after five more seconds in the dark, i closed the shutter of the camera. Et voilà!

But i must confess it took me twenty trials before i get the result I wanted.

Fabio

Now i understand better.....They replace the department "Test of the composite material" by the "price increases" department This explains that.... Best Fabio

It's so sad what's been going on with Panerai. As you say, they turned Laboratorio Di Idee into Price Increasing Lab. They found out some years ago that it works better for them from the profit angle Best regards and enjoy you Panerai. René
