Red Skies At Night




Comrades,
As the weather finally starts to turn warmer some of the wicked things we can do with a camera become a little more enjoyable. For some reason, my thing of late has been to “Paint with Light” which requires a shutter release device, a great light source, and a clear night sky. For me it represents the calm before the storm simply because as we inch ever so close to these warmer temperatures, wedding season falls right on my head. So last week I did a series of shots using two locations around the Lucky Peak Area. It was a matter of tying a flashlight to a string and keeping the shutter open for about 55 seconds. Here is what I ended up with so enjoy. I am thinking that if the opportunity presents itself, maybe I will post a bride and groom under a night sky like this. Any takers?




Night Lights For All My Friends,
Lance

Dude,

Those shots are sick man so cool, can you email me one that is about 1000 px wide. I would love to look at the detail. That gave me a couple ideas!!

Thanks for the comments on the blog. I loved shooting the tennis team. More to come.

Keep pushing the possibilities bro. Great work!

Have you ever thought of doing a show of some of these images ? I do them from time to time and they hang in all kinds of places like the local meat and three diner and the jurry room at the court house. (The court house gig is a sweet one because you have a captive group of people for days and days with no radio, tv or newspapers allowed. All they can look at is your stuff)
It has been a huge publicity thing for me. Keep posting the cool stuff.
