Unfortunately, I can take no credit for creativity. The approach was explained at local camera club meeting via zoom - and I simply executed it. It was a fun/safe project during these frigid quarantine days. Hope you and your's are well. |

WOW - glad I asked . . . . sounds like light painting with a flash.
I will look for an opportunity to try it . . . the scene you photographed will be difficult to replicate. Great capture! |

Jennifer - Nice shot - I like the simplicity, repeating patterns (the fence posts, and the parallel fence line/grass/paths) and the rising elevation - that then falls off in the distance. Makes me wonder what's over the hill? Framing is good - more foreground - less sky. The angle of the shot relative to the fence is perfect . . . love the way the fence posts get closer together further out. I'm guessing this is a 3:2 image . . . I wonder if cropping to 16:9 would give you even more relative width to accentuate the image. Well done.
P.S. Lance will likely suggest trying monochrome :) |

Great shot - love the tack sharp focus on the pupil and blurred background. Creates nice separation. The color also works - relatively bright bird "pops" from the muted background.
Your post-processing was perfect; I can't see where you removed the tree - and the vignetting works well (i.e. not over done - I would not have even been aware you did it!). One question regarding the color . . . the top of the bird's head and iris seem a bit too red/orange than they may have appeared in nature. What do you think? The colors make for an attractive/interesting image. |

Lance: i really like this image . . . the motion, darkness (literally and figuratively) and monotonous repetition that seems to go on forever. Even the repeating shadows in the grass.
I didn't follow how this was done - during the 30-40 second exposure - did you fire the flash multiple times from different spots? Or was this a long exposure with a single flash during the exposure? I'm guessing the latter.
I also reflect that this would be so much harder to accomplish with film . . . since you have no immediate feedback as to the adequacy of the exposure. With digital - would be so easy to see/adjust. Your metering was perfect!
I think of long exposures with flowing water along solid rock . . . this is a good reminder to look for other moving objects juxtaposed against something stationary (in this case - the grass and poles). Very well done! |

Chan: The detail/sharpness is great . . . between the rust/corrosion and peeling paint - definitely conveys the sense of something aging outside. I like the monochrome much better; there is little color in the image (and the green in the lower right doesn't add and is distracting). Since the color of the rust adds a dimension - I tried to convert to B&W in Silver Efex - then use the selective colorization to bring back some color in the hinge/spring. Not sure if I made it better or worse. |
