Day 95...
Humble attempt at a comet shot. Most others formatted for IG, left this one full frame. Have no idea what I am doing with night-sky images really. I was setup near some train tracks. Was running a sequence of images when it passed and got 2 frames with the rocks lit.
I posted a B&W version of this image last January and used another frame of this subject in my new book project but now, in the Covid-19 situation, I've had time to reprocess the color version.
I've posted this three years ago but have now reprocessed it to tone down the gilding, which had so much yellow (excessive) as to look like Fortia SP film. This time, considering that I shot at ISO 800, I was thinking of Portra 800 — a film that I like a lot. This was shot from the entrance of a Chiang Mai antique shot, and cropped down to 50mm EFOV. This 1.5 meter Buddha is not an antique. Carved in wood in Northern Thailand about thirty years ago in a Burmese style, it was selling for a little less than US$2,000.

Funny thing is that I would need my cell phone to look up the number needed to dial. Unfortunately, I no longer remember numbers since that necessity has been removed.
