CHRISTMAS AHOY

Mostly light painting. The Christmas tree is something very amusing to shoot.

First off are my favorites!

Spoiler

That one won the school newspaper photo contest. Too bad you can't see the fireplace in the puny print size :(



whoooosh. One-second exposure, zooming out during the said exposure.



Same basic shot, but with the Speedlite bouncing a rear-curtain flash to bring the tree into view.

Moar light painting yay

Next update was moved here

Today's my photo-dump day! Today I dump pictures into the thread that aren't really part of a batch or anything, so there'll be some standalone shots. Thus, don't expect anything totally awesome.

Oh, and I'm dumping some Christmas photos before they become more irrelevant, lolol.

Spoiler

This was at a friend's church's concert. Getting this shot was hard, since two poofy-haired ladies were sitting in front of me and confusing the camera's autofocus (the bokeh-mess that their hair became would confuse me too). It's also why the corners of the photo is somewhat dark. Program was overexposing, probably because they were wearing black so I had to dial in the shutter speed. This is the only keeper of the bunch. ISO 1600, hand-held at 200mm (320mm equiv.) at 1/50. Partial metering. It's a shame the lady singer is half-blinking.



Shot of the moon from a couple weeks ago. Manually guessing the metering, aperture and shutter speed was not fun. This one is slightly cropped.

Hummingbirds can camo really well :(

PHOTO DUMP COMPLETE

I really really love the first one, it's awesome!

That ornament photo is the only real "christmasy" photo I've seen. Most others are just macros of lights (guilty) but that one really has a christmas feel to it. It's easy to just focus on an ornament and call it quits but that looks like it took a bit of thinking, and good positioning to get the room to reflect without your camera being in the shot.

Our living room doesn't have a fireplace or anything, just a bunch of computers and a giant TV so it isnt very christmasy at all - me and my bro tried a similar idea once and it didnt turn out very well at all, EVEN YOUR LIVING ROOM ADDS TO IT MAN

GOOD JOB HONEY <3
