Very, very long camera shutter exposure


The longest camera shutter exposure

If you are into cameras and photography you will know that you can leave the shutter open for a few seconds to capture an image. This exposure, claimed to be the longest, is for six months and was done of the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. What's more it was not your normal camera,. but a pinhole camera made out of a drinks can. Nice one.

The People's Queen By Vanora Bennett

 
The people's queen in Vanora Bennett's new novel is Alice Perrers, and it is not unfair to describe her as a medieval Essex girl. An orphan and a commoner, she rose, thanks to her native wit and the accumulation of powerful men, to a position of wealth and influence as the scandalous mistress of Edward III.
