twenty-eight years and a million words

Tonight—after my budgeting deliberations—I decided to go for a walk. It started becoming quite foggy shortly before the last of the light left, and I realized that I was missing out on an excellent photographic opportunity. So I zipped home, got my camera and tripod, and hurried back out to take a bunch of shots.
My "new" camera has an interesting advantage over the X-700 I've been using these last few years. The meter allows for shots longer than four seconds. For night photography, this means that I can get the required exposures without using the 'bulb' setting and a cable release.
I'm looking forward to the results.
