After our new LED light stick arrived on Friday we have been itching to get it out of the box, fired up and see what sort of results it can produce in long exposure images - this is the first of four test images shot tonight in the living room of my house.
Looks damn good and we're looking forward to having some fun with this new toy out on location soon.
This is probably my favourite of the 4 test images - mainly due to that awesome flowing blue light on the right hand side.

A big thanks to Johnny Dickerson for bringing out all the light toys and teaching Kamphora and I about the nuances of Light Art Performance Photography.

my joe and I had a great time today, playing with those amazing natural ice sculptures!
I used 3 different cameras (Nikon d5000, Canon A470 (supermacro) and Panasonic FZ5)
Last Saturday I went to the Bastille Day Festival in Northern Liberties. Apparently its been going on for 16 years now, and I never even knew!!! The blocks in front of the Eastern State Penitentiary are closed off for a festival celebrating all things French. The festival culminates in a "mock" storming of the castle after Marie Antoinette and soldiers attack the crowd with twinkies a la "Let them eat Tastycake"! It was a fun event to cover, and I'm glad I went. And the cliché? Well, come one, Storm Troopers zapped by some lens flare from other space? Come one!!!

... more playing with kaleidoscopes. We have two of those kids kaleidoscopes (see kaleidoscope food pic), so what happens if you put one in front of the other? This was looking at the sky. The patterns you get are fantastic.
Another old shot I haven't had a chance to go and take pictures recently. I like the editing I did on this.
Late to the sunset party. I was able to "rescue" this photo, the second frame taken in a series.
Saw the sunset and clouds while riding my bike south from the Music Harry's Place. I wanted to get into a position to put the gazebo in the foreground, knowing all the while that the light and sunset was failing fast, and I might not make it. Once I got into position, I had to move around to partially "cover" the commercial buildings and neon signs across the river; all the while wondering if I could even handhold this low light shot with 80-200mm beast. Cropped some sky and grass off top and bottom and also cloned/healed out a jet contrail. Used a gradient mask to bring out the foreground.

Version 2: Noticed a problem with the gradient mask I used to bring out the foreground. Do you see it in the first version? Added a radial mask to balance things out on this second version of the photo.

ya twistin me melon man..... its like the lens cap trick but without the lens cap.
inspiration old and new, most recently though it came from the Captain so thanks for that hungover morning viewing that rekindled old flames and renewed old idea`s.
getting friendly with my new lens,
good to see some of the NELP heads today as well as meeting mccullin4 for the first time, twas good to hook up!
While going through some old stuff I came across this Vauxhall Astra VXR folder...30 shots to play with, this is 7 combined... Version 2! ;)
I was in Rovinj for the Photodays 2011 festival and browsing trough the old town I came across this tiny street which was very selectively shined with light. I had thousands of ideas how to take advantage of that little spotlight, but no convenient models, so I had to do it myself. I think a kid with a ball in the air would be great there.
Light is one thing that wasn't explored enough in this series (at least not in direct terms) and I'm meaning to change that.
This is kinda inspired by Bill Brandt, although I wasn't actually aware of it at that exact time. But I was on a lecture about his work just prior to that shot, so it must have influenced me somehow.
Shot on new Portra 400 and converted to BW digitally.
the off centre spin amongst other things gave me the hump with this shot for over a fortnight but i got over it eventually..;-)
playing with the window light in our dining room... and capturing the last of my yellow roses.
hoping your day is lovely.

Sorry for my flickr absence everyone - I"m currently staying busy with side projects and working on an upcoming HDR series and web blog. But I do hope to be back to my regular flickr appearances very soon.
As for the shot above it was done at an abandoned retirement home. It was a collaborative effort w/ Jeremy aka tackyshack who is a light painting genius.
