Waiting for Dark

In the barn with the owls hooting waiting for the dark.  Nikon d800e with Sigma 35mm 1.4.  I have been using my bike headlight, which seems to actually give me too much light.  Maybe I need to fabricate some type of diffuser. I am usually using ambient light, but bringing in this bike flashlight is kind of fun and gives you an idea how the pros work creating a subject in a studio image.

Getting Darker

I cannot seem to get myself out after dark this month. Counting this as my "warm-up" photo. Maybe I have grown afraid the of the dark. Alleys on the other hand, I can still handle those. Found these sitting all by their lonesome, avoiding the evening light that bounced its way from window to window to the concrete ... *splat*

If you blow up #4 you might just make out the fish balloon going after what appears to be a tasty morsel.

Shooting the test roll of film gave me an opportunity to shoot some street stuff, and it felt good to practice it with film and a rangefinder. Actually, it really doesn't matter what kind of camera! Just get out there, and shoot already!

I ran a test roll through this camera because I will be selling it soon. Here's a typical "in the mirror" self portrait.

Wreck of the Pt. Reyes After Dark

Posted this scene at sunrise a while back, so I thought I would revisit the location with a tripod and flashlight for this month's project.  Captured at about 9:30 PM, with the tide coming in and these small fish jumping almost into my camera bag. 

 Nikon d800e, Sigma 35mm 1.4.

Ghent, Belgium at Night

Lumix G5, Lumix 20mm f1.7
Taken: June 2013

I thought I'd kick off this month's project with one from the archives. This is a night scene taken in Ghent, Belgium one year ago.

There's nothing fancy here in terms of technique, I handheld the camera while bracing the camera on a railing on the bridge that we were standing on.
