I couldn't exactly turn this into daylight but really liked it.  Have tried to photo the moon before without much success.  Took this Friday night.

So what do you all think about this insane amount of rain we are getting today? Thought I would post a photo of how I'm spending my day!

LA Fire Boat

midnight in santa clarita.

f22, 69-second shutter speed

iso 1600

the image doesn't quite look like daytime, but i am happy with how it came out. i used a high f-stop in order to capture as much of the palm tree in focus as possible. it was a windy night, which it why the leaves are blurred. but i actually like that.

Death Valley by moonlight

I had to battle wind and sand in my face and camera equipment. I spent a couple of hours here just before sunset and by moonlight - this image is by moonlight. It was really hard to keep sand out of everything! My Canon lens is in the shop for cleaning - I hope it's not ruined! Death Valley is beautiful this time of year. The desert flowers are in full bloom but not as spectacular compared to previous years, but still beautiful!

Luckily, a buddy called as I was driving home or I would have missed these shots. I pulled over at a stop sign in the desert to talk, and snapped images through the windshield with one hand while holding the cellphone with the other as the sun continued to set. The tumbleweed, snagged pretty high up on one of the telephone poles, caught my attention. In the second image, it mimics the shape of the cloud to the left of it. Love the intersection of lines.

Desert Comfort

Tried using Nik's Color Efex Pro on these two images with some real success. On both, I used "Brilliance and Warmth" to warm, and "Tonal Contrast" to make this lovely couch pop from the background and sing once again. Shot both handheld with an image stabilizing lens. The first image was taken at f22 to get the starburst effect and is surprisingly sharp. The second one is sharp because I didn't shoot at f22. Had to add the starburst from a second image I took at f22, but which was too blurry to use otherwise.

Lake Piru at night to day

The moon is coming up behind the mountain on the right. A color tint change. (f/5.6, 30 sec, ICO 400)

12:00 Midlight

These photographs are dedicated to my husband who spent 3 hours with me in the middle of the night on a not-so-desolate canyon road so I wasn't kidnapped and who took me to In-N-Out afterwards at 1:00 in the morning for a burger.



Thanks for the ratings! Looking forward to your comments also - what you do and don't like in the photo. I'm not in it to win. Just to learn! Thanks!

Documentary Landscape

The Colours of India by Cr Shelare - Please click on the link to view images. Amazing work!

Night to day at Lake Castaic

The reflections are quite different in the water without sun light. The full moon gave it life after dark. (Canon 5D Mark II, f/22, 5 sec, ISO 250, 24-105@73mm)

My love of the living

Playground @ nite

So I was thinking of places in walking distance from my house to try some of these night shots, mind you none of these are perfect images what so ever. But I think I got the timing right now its just down to finding the right location.

People

Is it too late to post a documentary photo? My idea of documentary photography: photographs that say something about people.

Sorry to have broken up the Blog War! I'm a little behind.

Pizza Anyone?

These picture were taken in front of Greco's New York Pizzeria in Hollywood. 4130 subway series ride in Hollywood is the largest BMX monthly group ride in the country. They meet the second Saturday of the month in Hollywood and ride to downtown L.A. and ride the redline back to Hollywood. Picture were taken 1600 @ f3.5 around 11:30 p.m.

Night to Day

I really had fun with this assignment, although I almost froze to death. I took this image at a 90 second exposure at F/22 with an ISO of 1600. It is a bit grainy. I need more practice. We should make a night time field trip with the class. I like the fact that even though it looks like day I was still able to get the tail lights on the vehicles on the freeway.

My Peaceful Spot

I love just sitting out here to unwind from a long stressful day. (when I am feeling ok)

I took this picture after 10pm @ f/36 2minutes. I had to push my ISO to 800 (I think) so it came out a little grainy but I still love this view.

What ??????????

IS IT LIVE, OR IS IT MEMOREX ?

Yeah I know..........
