Do these images cool you off?
The long exposure (which captures the dreamy water) requires VERY low ISO, Very tiny aperture (F/22), AND a 4x neutral density filter. Absent any one of these elements, and the shot would be way over-exposed. The frozen droplet stuff uses the very fastest shutter speed and very high ISO, else things would be UNDER exposed.
It was HOT out there…
A Firefly’s Life by Christine Lavin from christine lavin on Vimeo.
I am a longtime fan of Christine Lavin (and FB friend). When I saw her recent firefly video, I posted one of my firefly images to her wall (for fun). She generously re-edited her work and cut-in some of my pics – COOL!
This is a crop-duster, in decline. Still beautiful.
I was taken on an early morning flight by my friend Chris Dahl-Bredine in his ultralight. Chris shoots with the Canon 5DMII also, and we both were experimenting with video (look for samples in a later post).
Julie’s cabin at night.
It had been cloudy all day, and I had given up on the idea of a night sky portrait, but it cleared-up nicely! Note the two meteors that wandered through during this 25 second exposure…
Tripod – never leave home with out it!
I was in the right place at the right time! The tail-lights of a departing car helped, too!
