I have posted this before, so I am "hosting" it here, along with its

story. <p>

 

On the last day of winter, I came across some cut Roses washed up on

the beach at Leesylvania State Park. I am sure they were thrown out

onto the Potomac to remember a drowning victim last Summer. Not what I

was expecting on the shoreline that day. <p>

 

I had my 50-year old Nikon S2 with me, and was testing it out. I took

several shots of the Roses in the sand. It was very cold, and the

slow-speed mechanism of the shutter failed. The shutter did not fire

until I let up on the release. The result was this image; it was so

faint that it could not be printed and looked clear on the negative. I

scanned in the whole strip using 48-bit mode, and can onyl guess that

the scanner wnt to "full-gain" to get an image. I de-saturated it in

Photoshop to get rid of the color bias of the negative. I could not

reproduce the effect if I tried. <p>
