Statue of Crown Princess Märtha close to Slottet in Oslo.
Shot in the middle of the day,about 14.00,2 o´clock.Made a dark, night version and used Photoshop 6 elements to create the evening atmosphere.
this is how it went.
ISO 200 camera normal. F stop 22. times for many of the shots went like this 2s, 4s, 6s, 8s. a pin light led. large flash light and a smallish flash light. 20- 30 images in camera. then I picked 8 to work on in photo shop. 4 hours of photo shop time. photo looks nice but some thing is missing. but I don't know what? after looking at this image I feel I did not do much for all the time I put in to it. it has not much feeling to me but why? all the people in my house think this is the best shell photo they have seen. I think it is just a mess. but I showed up to make a image. now I will work on more images. I think I need more life in the back ground. but not over powering the shot. I think a shell is not as fun as I would like it to be. I may have went to small. there is no story to why I should look at this normal shell. its just a dead shell. but I did have a grate time playing with this. and it is the best shell photo I have ever made.
on the 4th i used a long exposure and had my cousin(mary) write her name with a sparkler.
i thought it turned out well, especially because i didn't have my tripod with me
For some reason I was feeling ambitious today. I decided to do something with lighting. I set up both studio strobes to do this. one directly behind me shining into my 7ft umbrella, the light blew out all of the ribs of the umbrella to make a solid white background. Up front I had a light through a soft box pretty close to me and I hand held my camera. I used a fisheye lens, a bad choice and why this shot looks weird, but the lighting was sound and I guess I got what I was looking to do.
This is one of the results of today's experiment. Took this into the sun. The results are fun I think.
This is a very funny experiment that we tried. It is called Painting with light... In absolutel darkness you start shooting with looong exposure and the object is lit by a moving torch. This is what happens in the end:)
on the 4th i used a long exposure and had my girlfriend(julia) write her name with a sparkler.

so been playing with the reflective acrylic again, added with a few old lights made for some endless and individual results
