No, it's me, not my evil twin PalinSCar. He never smiles. > Or is his balaclava just smooshing the sides of his face upwards? The balaclava I'm wearing is so old and worn from use it's no longer is capable of smooshing anything. It's taken years to get it this comfortable. I got a new one a couple of years ago, but it's so tight I can't wear my sunglasses when I have it on, so it stays unworn in the bike box. > I had Steve pegged as one of those 19th century souls who prefers not > to smile for the camera. Actually, those 19th century souls were holding still for very long exposures (20 seconds to 5 minutes). The neck braces that held their heads still were artfully concealed in the photos. Those collodion wet plates had an ISO speed of 6 - 10, and Daguerreotype was even slower. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
