A little Re-edit of a picture I took last summer.
First try at light painting really...
I'm quite happy with this one in the end.

A thousand years, millions lives, light still flows through those windows like a spell.

Colour self portrait. It is the colour version of Day 35: www.flickr.com/photos/brady93/6858345308/in/photostream I saved a copy from the RAW file, which is saved in colour, no matter the camera setting.
Light bulb; a close up. Bokeh background. Another photo part of the 'Light Bulb Moment' part of the Viewfinders 52 Week photography challenge.
I managed to balance the blue and purple light on the orange light spoon eventually, but only for a while.
I got bored chopping logs and clearing the shed and thought I must do some experimenting in here again. Actually an email from Dave H prompted me to get back to this. A bit rusty after 5 months off and it was far too cold out there this evening.Lensless refractograph as shot in single exposure
Portland Head Light, Portland, Maine
From Wiki:
Construction began in 1787 at the directive of George Washington, and was completed on January 10, 1791. Whale oil lamps were originally used for illumination. In 1855 a fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed; that was replaced by a second-order Fresnel lens in which was replaced by an aero beacon in 1958 . That lens was replaced with an DCB-224 aero beacon in 1991.
In 1787, while Maine was still part of the state of Massachusetts, George Washington engaged two masons from the town of Portland, Jonathan Bryant and John Nichols, and instructed them to take charge of the construction of a lighthouse on Portland Head. Washington reminded them that the colonial government was poor and that the materials used to build the lighthouse should be taken from the fields and shores. They could be handled nicely when hauled by oxen on a drag, he said. The original plans called for the tower to be 58 feet tall. When the mason completed this task they climbed to the top of the tower and realized that it would not be visible beyond the headlands to the south, so it was raised approximately 20 feet.
The old tower, built of rubblestone, . Washington gave the masons four years to build the tower. While it was under construction, the federal government was formed (in 1789) and it looked for a while as though the lighthouse would not be finished. The first congress made an appropriation and authorized Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury, to inform the mechanics that they could go on with the completion of the tower. The tower was completed during 1790 and first lit January 10, 1791.
During the American Civil War, raids on shipping in and out of Portland Harbor became commonplace, and because of the necessity for ships at sea to sight Portland Head Light as soon as possible, the tower was raised twenty feet. The current keepers' house was built in 1891. When Halfway Rock Light was built, Portland Head Light was considered less important and in 1883 the tower was shortened 20 feet and a weaker fourth-order Fresnel lens was added. The former height and second-order Fresnel lens was restored in 1885 following mariners' complaints.
The station has changed little except for the rebuilding of the whistle house in 1975 due to it being badly damaged in a storm. Today, Portland Head Light stands 80 feet above ground and 101 feet above water, its white conical tower being connected with a dwelling. The 200,000 candlepower, DCB 224 airport style aerobeacon is visible from 24 miles away. The grounds, and keeper's house are owned by the town of Cape Elizabeth, while the beacon, and fog signal are owned and maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard as a current aid to navigation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Portland Head light (sic) on April 24, 1973, reference number 73000121.

One of my few shots with the signal box at this end of Exeter St Davids which is not hopelessly backlit.

I decided this would be the next comp I would work on. There was nothing extra special about this. I liked the angle this was shot at and taking on the 3 buildings in 1 comp. I caught this as I was walking to another building I was looking to shoot. When I go into LA I am constantly looking around looking for new angles of composition. People must think something is coming from the sky as I am walking because 90% of the time I am walking and driving looking at an upward angle. The driving part is tricky but can be perfected with practice.
The number of layers and versions is an insane amount. Being new to this processing takes a lot of work to see the light, angles, shapes and luminosity. I really do enjoy looking at a shot from every angle and trying different lighting schemes. It takes some trial and error. The joy is once you find the theme and lighting scheme you want to go with the comp comes together nicely but not without many more hours of shading and highlighting to create the vision. Each building is processed individually as well as the sky but as a whole to the final outcome. I do very little global adjustments. I have never used so many selections, each building is a selection as well as windows, arches, poles, panes, ridges and sky.
I am really not sure of the hours put in, I should clock in and clock out so I know how many hours I put in on a comp but that would seem to much like work. Thanks again to Joel Tjintjellar and his Master Class Video.
A series of light painting at Mrs Macquaries Chair in Sydney Harbour. The best lookout point and great.
opportunity for photos and light painting.
None of these images have been photoshoped. Please ignore the compositions because it's very hard to judge where the images will appear in the frame.
This light painting technique is called light tracing. get a person or object to pose and use a torch to trace around the object. Make sure their not wearing big jumpers or jackets. It gets a bit bumpy around the edges as shown.
Although I know that the colors of objects we see is the result of waves of light being absorbed or reflected, I don’t often think about it in daily life unless there’s some kind of extraordinary source of it that causes me to take notice. A classic example is a small beam of sunlight leaking into a dark room. Or perhaps the light bouncing off one wall onto another. Such is the case here, where the morning light has reached one side of this narrow section of remote desert narrows but not the other. The intense rays of the Sun on a clear day illuminate the old carved rock wall bouncing across to the other side which features pronounced striped patterns that have eroded at different rates. The reflected light onto the darker wall caught my immediate interest in this scene, and I loved also the S curve of the shadow line from canyon walls high above that mirrored the contour of the floor of the canyon.
It's all around us, all we have to do is open our eyes!
Nearly daily my classes end around five, & i don't have enough time to take new sunny shots which i love so much, I decided to upload this to fill my photostream with sunlight that i get everyday!
& yeah i made a formspring account, go ahead & ask me anything! =)
I wanted to do a little series of 'something' from different perspectives using the same lens to see how much I could alter a scene based on angle, distance, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. I thought it would be fun because I've been doing so many strobist photos lately. As I just got this dining table, I figured it was a good subject. I haven't altered any of these shots in post, and only used available light.
For this shot, I closed the blinds to have less ambient light and turned on the dining room light (shown as the white bokeh ball in the corner). The light was right on top of the flowers, but I have a mirrored wall, so you can see the reflection.
