I get a lot of questions on my lighting. This is a sample of one of my favorite tools. That's right a flashlight.

Another assignment for my color light and composition class: Flashlight Painting.

My sister helped me out over the Thanksgiving Break

Prof (and critique panel) really liked this one

First time I tried to take a picture of a lightning... So I ended up with a lot of pics with nothing on them ;)

Unfortunately I can't provide the clap of thunder that followed on this one, but I can tell you: it was some kind of impressive. ;)

Or, as Mark Twain put it:

"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work."

Project flashlight is the joy of light at grand scale. Pure, incredibly bright white beams like fingers of god in the dust, contrasts with the night sky, scale across the open playa, interplay of beams, light in motion. Military and NASA billion-candlepower searchlights, reanimated for art! Interactively controlled by smartphones, tablets and light-saber toys.

I captured this shot by hanging a flashlight from the ceiling with a string, setting my camera on a tripod looking up. I set the camera to BULB, turned off the lights, started the flashlight swinging, and hit the shutter.

Flashlight fun during the blackout.

Here you can see me test fitting the switch into the slot I cut in the side. This thermos only has about 0.1" clearance between the inner and outer walls, and the pushbutton from the flashlight is almost 0.25", so as you can see, it sticks out a fair bit. Ah well.

You can also see the tabs where the wires will connect sticking out; this is not a permanent mounting, just a test fit, as I said. Eventually I want to solder wires to them, tuck the tabs back and slide them under the outer shell, and run the wires behind the shell to the batteries and bulb in the butt of the thermos.

Extended exposure where I was experimenting using my flashlight as a spotlight. Not sure if I'm happy with this but it was my best shot.

And one down the throat of the thermos just after I glued in the reflector. That light at the end of the tunnel you're seeing there is the hole where the bulb will be installed.

My husband played with the lighting on these masks using a slow shutter speed on a tripod and manually "painting" the light effects in a completely dark, closed room. Everything he tried brought out completely different expressions in the masks. This one is quite formidable.
