Long Exposure: The Hands of Time


Focal length: 34mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/6.3,
Shutter: 6.5 seconds
Lighting: TV in the background
Technique: I used my camera remote to start and stop the exposure as I manually turned the hands.

Weekly Assignment: Mirror

We've had some excellent posts on long exposure, and I know we have a couple more to come. The new assignment is Mirror. I think this will be really interesting to see what people turn in.

Happy shooting!

Facebook page

Hey groupies! I made a facebook fan page for our group. I thought we could each have our own album and a place to display our work. At the very least, go find the page and become a fan, and invite your friends!

Portrait event

Hey groupies,

Most of you saw on Facebook that I created an event for the group. A 3 hour open-house style, portrait session. I've invited a lot of people and so far, I have had a great response. We need to discuss the details in advance so this thing comes off well and is a success for our group.

I want to get the group together to discuss the details. For those that work at iC, I will send a meeting request, but for those that don't, I don't know how to get a hold of you other than our blog. If you want to plan with me, lemme know ASAP. There may be some fees involved (like renting equipment or fees from the site we're going to) and need to get firm committments on who is going to be there.

Thanks,
Ry

Geometry in everyday stuff


I think it's funny how many people fight the learning of math, when it is present in everything we do. Just my opinion.


ISO 200
F 5.0
38mm focal length
1/160 sec exposure
180 ws studio strobe at 1/4 power and a reflector card to fight the really dark shadows.

Geometry-Pool





One thing that always comes to mind when I think of Geometry is pool. To me, pool is all about angles.
Long Exposure: 13th East at dusk

Focal length: 36mm
f/stop: f/32
Shutter speed: 4 seconds
ISO: 400
Lighting: none

This was a really fun assignment as I haven't ever played with the exposure time like this. This isn't the best shot or anything but I would love suggestions and feedback.

Geometry: Roof line of the Sandy Library

Focal Length: 38mm
f/stop: f5/6
shutter speed: 1/50
ISO: 400
natural light

(got tired of homework and took a break. Now I don't want to go back to doing homework!)



Long exposure assignment

I will try and get better at getting you guys/gals, the F-stop exposure, lighting..

Weekly Assignment: Long exposure

Alright there's the new assignment. Lets see some submissions for real this week! We're all busy, but if we're not going to have more than 1 or 2 submissions each week, it's not worth coming up with an assignment. We moved to this site because people were saying it would increase participation, lets see it!

Try to get a 1+ second exposure on this one. Good luck and enjoy!

Here's a few great examples and ideas of what you could do:

Photo Club Event - Portrait session

So, I took charge and scheduled an event for my photo club. On April 10th, we are going to have an open house style photoshoot. I am hoping that all the members of the group will attend AND we'll get a great response from friends and family... and extended peeps. So excited to get more experience and spend time with my awesome photo club friends!
