Dining Room at Sunset
This photograph is a
triple exposure taken with my 4x5 view camera mounted on a tripod. The first exposure was
two seconds for the sunset. A few minutes later it was totally dark and I turned on the
room lights and took a two minute exposure. The room lights were then tuned off for a two
hour time exposure of the city lights.
The windows each have motorized blinds which retract through slots in the ceiling. Since
the corner windows are mitered glass with no corner posts, the blinds, too, needed to meet
at the corners. This created a unique design problem and made it necessary to suspended
the light soffits from rods which can be seen in this photograph. The design was rather
complex, the tolerances were tight, and I was greatly relieved at the end of the job when
everything worked!
