I asked my daughter to do like Greenlaw* and she is in the window. Also some children were playing hide and seek and ran through the scene, leaving some "human fog" in the gap to the left of the tower.. you can mouse over the note to see it a little better.

The only technical differences between this one and "Hovedøya I" are: f/5.6 instead of f/4.8, and 3 minutes instead of 2.5 minutes. But the character of the highlights and soft focus areas are remarkably different... this lens has great potential and will take practice.

* Many believe that it is Colonel Alexander Greenlaw sitting in the window in this calotype.
