this fire is out of control

part 3 of the light painting workshop. hooray. after getting bored with the plain black background, i decided to add a little color with an orange gelled hot light. what i did not expect was that it would make it look like i was on fire. two words. hell yeah. i'm quite happy with how it is shaping up.

the evolution of an idea

ok, im going forward with an idea that i have been enjoying. i have more free time on my hands now that i am no longer photo editor of the DN, and taking time on things that make me happy makes me....well, happy. ive been practicing forming shapes for a series of sport portraits, and these are a few that are starting to take shape. the disk golf one turned out a little bit better than i expected, the football one was terrible, and the basketball one was in the middle. i could only practice for so long in my garage, because it was damn cold. i could see my breath, and i could no longer feel my fingers, even while wearing gloves.

light test

So, bored one night, i decided to play around with some long exposures, in preparation for a portrait i am starting to set up. here is my room outlined, my attempt at a flower vase, and my attempt at drawing the globe, which ended up looking like two sea horses.
