exposed...

a couple of weeks ago...my meetup group had a twilight shoot at mare island. long exposures was something i admired...but had never attempted. until that night.

***

carquinez bridge...



settings...
manual. bulb. 3 seconds exposure.

when everyone else was painting buildings w/flashlights...i turned my lens towards the bridge. i like it...but now that i've practiced for a couple weeks...i think i can do better.

cloudy sf nite...



settings...
manual. bulb. 2 second exposure.

this is the photo i've always wanted to take. the bridge. the city. now that the buildings are decorated for the holidays...i'm ready to go back.

vallejo marina mural...



settings...
manual. iso 400. 10 second exposure.

i went out shooting with a friend...and we practiced light painting.. i had a lot of fun...but the area we went to was a little too well-lit. we plan to go out again soon.

  2. @diane - here's the wikipedia definition of light painting. i had a penlight that i would use for painting while the shutter was open.

    i love christmas music...and was happy to be able to put some on my playlist. i just wish they had more of the songs i was searching for.

    happy thanksgiving!

  3. Wonderful work Cheryl! Absolutely adore the second bridge shot, you're really getting the technique down pat. I think you've elevated to "Nikon Queen"
