How do you know how much "shining" gets the right exposure?

I also loved the third one. The monster is licking the sky with an electric tongue! What was your setup for those? What kind of exposre times?

That would be this one. I was riding along a bike path in Rhode Island when I took that shot. Wish I had been on a uni. It was a wonderful place to ride.

From a hike along the coast of Washington. I need to go back. The formations are referred to as Graveyard of the Giants.

I just put my camera on a tripod and set the shutter speed for as long as it would go, the ISO for 100 or 80 and the F-stop for 8.0 (some cameras have a shutter speed setting called BULB. This allows you to hold the shutter open as long as you want.

Trial and error, but mostly the fact that the max' exposure on my little point and shoot is only 16 seconds so it doesn't give much time to shine light. But it's fun, you should try it.

From the trail to Goodman Creek

Thanks for the technical tips, guys. I like the lightning idea, I should try it next time I have lightning and a tripod in the same place...

Here's some redwoods, originally shot in color, then with filtering applied in the B & W conversion.

Can't wait to go back

I got a pleasant surprise this evening. I was looking at the Photo of the Day feature on Kodak's website. I hadn't visited it in quite a while and was surprised to discover one of my photos had been selected for August 7th. I had submitted it quite some time ago. I've heard that the Photo of the Day is displayed at Times Square but have no way to confirm that.

Anyhow it was nice discovery.

For some reason, the link doesn't always work. If you get a message that says Return to the current Picture of the Day, click on it and arrow back to August 7th.

patmoore · 2011-08-10, 11:12 AM

Even that solution doesn't always work. Not sure why Kodak keeps changing the link. This isn't the ideal solution but here's a screenshot.

Eastern brook trout from an alpine lake

Not the best quality because they're just linked from my facebook.

Some are old, some are new, some are film, some are digital. Eh.
