Abstract
A photographic exposure control apparatus includes a directable light source, and an auxiliary shutter which is located between a camera lens and a subject. The auxiliary shutter includes a housing structure which has a window therein. The window is selectively opened and closed by a blade which is movably mounted on the housing structure, which is motor driven, and which allows the housing structure to block entry of light into a camera lens when the window is closed, and to allow light into the lens when the window is open. A filter holder is mounted on the housing and is selectively remotely insertable between the lens and a subject.
