We were driving by a marina outside of Cape May New Jersey....came across this old building. Tried a little different perspective with the second picture on my MacBook Pro...I don't have any Post Productive software yet....Threw in a picture of a flower I saw in the shopping area on Washington St.


I love old, dilapidated buildings and the African daisy is beautiful....

Found this tiny spider, about the size of a 5 cent piece hiding in my water meter. Anyone know what kind of spider it is??

Playing with fire/light

More of my learning curve here - but in the two with flashlights, I was happy to get my faint Big Dipper to show above the rock to add a bit of gravitas to the silliness. In the full white lined one, in the lower right you can see the lower legs and feet of the runner. More continuous light; more detail. In the second, I did not get my click in time to get the first half, but still love it as an early work in progress. :-D Those are at Cannon Beach.

The third shot, at Cape Arago, is the result of steel wool lightly packed in a kitchen whisk, ignited, then spun around on a rope. Way too much Fun With Fire For Adults - although I suspect this will give me cred with my grandsons!

Can you please tell me your camera settings again, ISO, aperture and shutter speed? Thanks!

Light Painting Technique
Skinnyman wrote:
I recently tried a number of shots using a technique of photography called "Light Painting" (see YouTube). Not sure if anyone has experience with this? I like the effect the photo gave me in the chair, almost a ghost effect. I'm not happy with the sharpness of the photo but because of the technique I believe it's challenging to get a real sharp image. It was about 1:00am, the only light I had was the moon. Also the lens needs to be open a long time for this effect. Well any positive feedback is totally welcome. :)

From what I've seen on You Tube, aperture is 5.6 - 7.1 at 10-30 seconds for shutter

OK, Tim, that is fantastic. Are you going to tell me how you did that? (pretty please?) That is so neat!



Subject was placed on a chair in total darkness,I walked around her with a candle not letting my body get between the candle and the camera. The exposure time was ten seconds so I walked slow enough to take ten seconds to get around the chair. It is best for the camera operator to be in dark clothes,black preferably.

Tim, thank you so much for that information. That is the neatest effect. I never would have thought that's how you did it. Thank you again. WW :P

I saw a post yesterday about light painting and had forgotten all about this technique. My examples aren't that great but are somewhat unique ( always trying to be different! )

If you have never done this, it is easy to do and each picture has a different light quality. The goal is to "paint" an isolated subject or subjects with a flashlight or other light source, leaving the surrounding items unpainted. You paint as long as the shutter is open which can be anywhere between 1 second or 30 seconds, depending how dark it is and what aperture you use, etc.

A tripod is a must and I used the mirror up function and the self-timer on my camera.

The Gray's Anatomy photo could have used a bit more ambient light on adjacent books however the anatomy book is "painted" pretty well without spilling light over to surrounding books.

(The drumstick photo shows large sticks, not small drums!)

Would love to see some more examples of this technique.

Beautiful - How did you get the light to focus just on Gray's Anatomy?

You have to "paint" the object you are trying to illuminate with a flashlight or other light source. That is, you literally have to move the light all over the object while the camera shutter is open ( and on a tripod ). Try to just place light only on what you want illuminated - just like painting something.You sometimes have to do this quickly for a shutter speed of 1 or 2 seconds but if it is pitch black outside and you leave the shutter open for 30 seconds, you can do a lot more "painting"

In the picture below I painted only the Gray's Anatomy book so that the books on each side didn't have any light fall on them. I did this by quickly moving the flashlight up and down the book while the shutter was open.( the other objects will get illuminated somewhat by whatever light source you are painting with. )

This is lots of fun and easy to do.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you so much for the information, Abby. I've played around with light painting a little but I really like the way you used it on the books. And painting the red book with light really made it pop. You did a beautiful job!
