Very interesting. I wonder how the figured out the exposure values. Not exactly the most enthralling photo, but quite an accomplishment.

Obviously, that couldn't have been printed on the same sheet of paper. Could you imagine trying to put a backing on that? and where would you put it? Thank you for sharing.

It has been said that if you can't make it good, make it big. Someone really took that to heart, didn't they?
