"Old Friends"

"Old Friends" - Cy Cox




"Old Friends" was  achieved rather easily by using a few simple techniques.The first is delayed exposure, Which should be fairly straight forward. The longer the lens stays open the more light gets in and the brighter your picture will be. The second is "Light Painting". This is as simple using a flashlight to "paint" or highlight the object or area you wish to Brighten. In this picture i "painted" the Guitar and the Case with a white LED flashlight and then i placed my hand on the guitar and quickly "painted" my hand. The longer you paint the hand the less transparent it will be so if your going for the ghost look less is more.

Experiment with different settings and see what you think works best. Never be afraid to push the limits or go outside your safety zone..that is when the magic really does happen.

You Say Potato....


Remember Your First Time.

So, Here we are...Well that about sums it up, I take Pictures, Sometimes i do other things.
If i happen to take a picture i like, I might frame it, and hang it on a wall.





This Silo is one of the Last of its kind in Richmond B.C.  Once a major farming area it has since turned into big dollar residential area.
