I had a really weird dream about falling in my back yard. This may be the first jumping picture I have put on flickr, but I have definitely tried to before - the self timer is hard to get down, i got a lot of shots with me just leaving the ground, or just coming back down.
this is a compilation of around 37 images, although i took over 150 pictures to get everything i needed.
I used a rapid moving flashlight to illuminate the poppies with a long exposure.
I made a custom aperture for the stars, and attached it to my 50mm prime lens.
I used my lame-o kit lens to get me.
Day 58 - Friday, March 21st. Marin performing with The Edge at Jam Fest at the Civic Space Park in Downtown Phoenix. Part of Rock and Roll High School, a project that puts high school kids into bands and sets up concerts all around Arizona. If you look closely, you might be able to see star shapes in the blurry areas since I used my Petzval lens with the star aperture.
An index card and some painter's tape.
I cut the index card down to a perfect square bigger than the hood I was going to attach it to. I located the center of the card by drawing lines between the opposite corners with a ruler to make an X. I made a circle of markings each 1cm from the center; this means that my shape could be a maximum of 2cm across. I chose 2cm because I was using the 50mm prime lens set at f2, which would mean my shape would have to be smaller than 25mm, but the card was mounted on a hood farther away from the lens so I reduced it to 20mm (2cm) just to be safe. Then, I sketched a star inside the 2cm circle and cut it out with the vague equivalent of an x-acto knife. Some eyeballed positioning and a bit of painter's tape (to be sure I didn't hurt my mom's camera gear) and I had a crude star bokeh setup!

Took this on Saturday night when me and Sean went down to the boat launch.
Last summer, I went down to the dock and you could see an INSANE amount of stars because there was no moon out. The idea of getting star shots didn't even occur to me, I just sat and stared because I rarely get to see that because of all the light pollution in Louisville. This year, however, I made sure I had my tripod and cable release because I wanted some insanely epic star shots. Unfortunately, we timed our trip to where we had a big, beautiful full moon both nights, so I couldn't get exactly what I wanted, but I made the most of it.
This was shot wide open with my new Rokinon 35mm 1.4. I knew I wanted to get the stars to show as bokeh and I wanted to get as long a trail as possible, but I could only get a little over a minute with the full moon out. I took another one that lasted about 6 minutes, but I had to stop the lens down so the trails pretty much looked like most other star trails...not very bokeh-esque. I think next time I'll have to invest in a 3ish stop ND filter.

I took my star bokeh hood for a walk last night and got the traffic lights!

The star is a garden light in a plant on the front porch. It was also seen as shadow in another capture for ODC3. See below.

Just a typical Saturday night - hangovers, horrible weather outside and an astronaut exploring my kitchen table.
Thought I'd share some happy Christmas-light bokeh from a drive-through light show on James Island our staff went to last weekend. I'm kind of bummed about the van being in the shot, but I couldn't bear to cut out any of the beautiful stars with any amount of creative cropping.
