How do you illuminate objects/rooms in pitch darkness? And how long do you normally leave your shutter open?

I light the place with a flashlight, shutter is typically open anywhere from 2 seconds to 1 minute depending on the stop, flashlight brightness, and how big the area is to be lit.

I know what you mean Barbara, I almost wanted to say it looks like Motts cleaned the sink.

The little clampy things at the top of the chair are freaking me out! I don't really recall having my neck choked at my last hair appointment. To each his own I guess...

I just a few days ago spent the night here. I went in at night with no flashlight, thus couldn't find my way out. I stayed on the roof. I didnt want to go back inside at night and consequently that's where i slept. i would not advise going there alone
