February 7, 2004: Columbia in Winter 1
I had a meeting up at Columbia on Wednesday, and afterwards I took some time to wander around campus by myself. More than five years had passed since I graduated from Columbia, and I was in a contemplative mood. After we graduated, I came back to campus a few times, but I always found the experience cold and a little bit depressing. I loved Columbia, but the Columbia campus doesn't love anyone- it just takes whoever comes along. Absent all the old faces, it just feels like any other place. Taking these pictures the other night, I was thinking of a college friend of mine who has been very ill this past year. In some ways, I think these pictures are dedicated to him.
How long was the exposure on those pictures with the shooting stars (or airplanes)?
15 seconds @ f8 on a canon g2!
Ah, so it was airplanes. Wish my camera (Minolta Dimage XT) would let me exercise that kind of control over the picture. Of course, I also don't own a tripod, so it'd be pointless to take 15 second exposure for me anyway. Great Pictures!
gorgeous.
