a slug’s fatal journey.

having had it planned for a while now, i finally made it out to shoot a little at night again.. put my shortest lenses on the two big canon-bodies, so i could play with one while the other was exposing – mostly bound to 30″ as i still don’t have any timer, nor a lockable cable-release with me :(
