2009-02-07 - Photo-A-Day

Another day where I nearly forgot to take a picture.

 

When I pressed for creativity, I tend to break out the tripod and head outside for some long exposure shots. I love the work of Troy Paiva (LostAmerica) and similar photographers who take exposures lasting minutes in complete darkness. With my Fuji SLR, I'm limited to only 4 seconds. Oh well, just another reason to upgrade soon.

 

This photo was taken in almost complete darkness (a little moonlight was available). It is of a retaining wall in my backyard. I like the way it appears to be a sidewalk leading off into the distance.
