The Argus Collectors' Group is pleased to present...
The 2004 Holiday Lights Contest
James Surprenant
All three photos were taken with a C3 Colormatic model,
Special Moments ASA 100 color print film
on Christmas Eve, 12/24/04.
Jesus, Mary & Joseph! : f/3.5 @ 1/10 sec handheld, natural light - candles and four overhead 60 watt incandescent bulbs
Scout : f/16 @ 1/25 sec, handheld, illuminated by a Press 25B flashbulb. I used an opaque (but not clear) plastic flash guard on the flash gun to cut down the exposure by one stop or so.
Meredith : f/3.5 @ 1/10 sec handheld, natural light - candles
and a single overhead 60 watt incandesecent bulb.
