Er, maybe he means easy because I only take 2 min subexposures which is pretty short.

Its not really that difficult to capture them. I can see the veil in a 20s test exposure. The only difficult thing is carrying a lot of stuff around. I admire Remus for that. Carrying so many things around NUS has already made me into a terrorist suspect by the NUS security.
