    When I enlarged that car repair shop photo, I just barely discern the heads on those nails/spikes. Probably 8 - 10 inch common nails.

    I absolutely love these ultra fine grain photo's. They remind me of B&W photography that I did in RVN, 69/70. I shot Tri-X exclusively, @ 400 ASA except for Night photography then I would "push" the ASA speed to 1200 ASA and still do hand held shots: our helicopter Maintainance crews would just leave their truck lights on a bird, and when needed, a Flashlight.

    Our TI's Only used Flaslights, and "Tunnel Vision" ...

    I recall one Late night TI have a SEVERE CASE of "What the Hell's" when he found a Large wrench in a Closed Tail of an H-Model Huey. TAILS were Always Left open if you were "STILL" Working on the Aircraft, And WHAT ~OTHER~ Reason would a Tool be in a Tail Boom ? ? ? ?

    philip,
    AKA Trouble-Shooter 1 5: I Never Carried a FlashLight, I was to CLOSE to the Berm Line and the little people loved a lit up target.
