how do you compensate for the bright lights when they;re on? It looks like you had 20 seconds, use a polarizer or sommat?

Easy, Jedi skillz.

Nah, the transition was really slow, so it was pretty easy.

hmm...
looks like fun.


you do long exposure shots,


and I've been doing a lot of motion capture.

hey, what tricks do you do, to minimise camera motion, when you're tripodding?

do you do stuff like remote shutter release, or set it to time delay....?

The key is having a sturdy tripod, vs. a $25 one from Walmart. If you're doing a longer exposure, the momentary movement of the tripod when you first take the shot isn't going to show up in your photo. Only periodic or steady movement will be clear.

I use a cable release when shots will be longer than 30 seconds, but I've done it by hand in bulb, and they're usually pretty clear. Your in-camera timer will always work too. :)

I want a cable/wireless release, but yeah, I often use the timer.
it's just...an extra ten seconds that I can't usee.

also, it'd be cool for lots of things.

but yeah. the pod i have is an old monster. goes about six feet tall, metal tubes...it's very sturdy. the kind of thing you could bludgeon somebody with.

Has a creepy feel to it.

Makes me think of a scene out of Gears of War.

I can't wait to get 2! Should I play 1 first? (No.)

Wulven has #2. He lent me #1.

I'm playing 1 now.

And where was your fuzzy ass the other weekend?

Work; where I always am. :) How was it?!

Was great!

Wished you & Skruffs made it though.

NICE work! Great focus too!

Thank you!

That's amazing! The focus is so sharp! I am just stunned by it's beauty~!

Nice composition (no surprise, coming from you!) and some very subtle colours in that lamp bulb.

The clouds were cooperative, too. :)

I really like this one. It seems as if the sky is just zooming past. Either that or the light pole is oddly mobile. *grins*

*hugs*

While the subject seems pedestrian (hah-hah, I made a pun), you brought it to life by giving it the personality it showed you -- one side illuminated, the other not.

The sky on this is fantastic and makes a beautiful background. Was it retouched in post-processing?
