Camera: Chamaeleon Panorama 6×12 Serial #126
Film: Fuji Superia 100
Exposure: 6 seconds

in some situations it is impossible to measure or calculate the “correct” exposure and you have to rely on your luck and intuition. Here the camera was aiming against the setting sun with partly illuminated interior and and brightly lit exterior.
