Night Eel Fisherman

Gilbert M. Grosvenor

National Geographic

A single Balinese farmer plods through his paddy field with a Coleman lantern to capture tiny eels on a dark moonless night. His catch provides a protein supplement to his predominantly rice diet. Although a single frame and single exposure, the 6 images of the same man were achieved by covering the lens with my hand, thus effecting the multiple exposure.
