Lights

Blurred Lights

Cars Stream By | 6.12.11 @ 10.54pm | Rexburg | f/3.5 | Shutter Speed: 5.0 sec | ISO 200 | Focal Length 14.4mm | no flash

I just went to a dark corner and waited until I saw lights, then I would click. I think next time, I will get them still in the frame, so there is a trail of lights behind them but then you see them still.

Light Graffiti


Hovering | 6.13.11 @ 1.46am | Rexburg | f/2.8 | Shutter Speed: 5secs | Canon Powershot SX120IS | ISO 200

I had some major difficulties understanding this concept. So I did a lot of practicing. This fellow was supposed to be ON the couch, but I kind of like it.





 Lounger | 6.13.11 @ 1.47am | Rexburg | f/2.8 | Shutter Speed: 5 secs | Canon Powershot sx120IS | ISO 200

I finally got it right after many failed attempts. I moved the couch away from the wall a little, then standing behind the couch, I made sure to aim AT the camera... but never too long. I rather like this fellow. :)

Angel | 6.13.11 @ 1.50am | Rexburg | f/2.8 | Shutter Speed: 5 secs | Canon Powershot SX120IS | ISO 200

I liked this little try. I realize that I lingered too long, but I like that it looks like I have wings. It made the halo/angel thing fairly nifty and FUN!

Love Gone Wrong | 6.14.11 @ 11.44pm | Rexburg | f/8 | Shutter: 5.0sec | Canon Powershot | ISO 200 | Focal Length: 6.7mm

"S" | 6.14.11 @ 11.19pm | Rexburg | f/3.2 | Shutter: 5.0sec | Canon Powershot | Focal Length: 7.3 | Changed the hue in Photoshop | Cropped

Drop of Flame | 6.14 @ 11.20pm | Rexburg | f/3.2 | Shutter: 5.0secs | Canon Powershot | Focal Length: 7.3 

Fire Breather's Ember | 6.14 @ 11.02 | Rexburg | f/2.8 | Shutter: 5 secs | Canon Powershot | Cropping 

For this picture, I moved without thinking that I was in the picture, so it had a weird look to it with two distinct(ish) front of my faces. So I carefully removed one, which left this picture... I nearly burned myself a couple of times that evening, but it was totally worth it. 

Fire Eater | 6.14 @ 11.12 | Rexburg | f/3.2 | Shutter: 5.0secs | Canon Powershot | Focal: 7.3

Raising Flame | 6.14 @ 11.05 | Rexburg | f/8 | Shutter: 5 secs | Canon Powershot 

In Photoshop, I put a gradient map with the color being a deep maroon which you will see on the edges of the image. To create it in the first place, I waved a match out and caught it on film. 

Camera Motion

Dancing Lights | 6.12.11 @10.54 | Rexburg | f/8 | Shutter Speed: 5.0 secs | Canon Powershot SX120IS | ISO 200

I loved making the colors and lights dance. It was just so much fun. I tried working with the moon at first, but I had a hard time figuring out what to do with it, except make it bounce. 

Colors Flare | 6.12.11 @ 10.57pm | Rexburg | f/8 | Shutter Speed: 5.0secs | Canon Powershot SX120IS | Focal Length: 34.9

More dancing colors and lights. The building lights worked for me well as they were all fairly dim.

Light Painting

Suitcases | 6.13.11 @ 1.40am | Rexburg | f/3.5 | Shutter Speed: 5.0secs | Canon Powershot SX120IS | Focal Length: 12.8mm

To get this shot, I set up my camera. Then I worked the flashlight while the camera worked its magic...  I had a hard time getting the right emphases. I am going to be working on this form of photography for a while. I lingered to long on one thing in a lot of what I was trying to capture which made it pretty yucky. This was the best I came out with... and it makes me want to work at it with a fevered dedication.

Burning Drink | 6.14 @ 11.36 | Rexburg | f/3.2 | Shutter: 5 sec | Canon Powershot 

There was some interesting background-age, so I put it on a black background and kept some of the reflection... 

Rainbows and Smoke | 6.14 @ 10.52 | Rexburg | f/3.2 | Shutter: 5.0secs | Canon Powershot
