    great shot, love the reflection. And I know for a fact he didn't hear the shutter, i bet you didn't even hear it.
    nice exposure, did you use a light meter or does your ql17 meter actually work?

    Hi Gavan - thanks for the comment. Yep, the on-board meter actually works. I used an alkaline 5V battery (I seem to recall), rather than the hard-to-get 3.5V mercury ones it was designed for. Then (following instructions) I adjusted the ASA on the camera to allow for the difference in voltage - so for my 100ASA film I set the ASA on the camera to around 130, and it works fine.

    This is a great shot. It feels comfortable to me.
