LIGHT PAINTING

I was not here Tuesday so I looked up on the web to make sure I knew how to do it. I found that besides putting the camera on a tripod you can use the camera as a paint brush. I did some of both and liked painting with the camera better.

This is the practice movie I made and uploaded to YouTube.

On Sunday we set out for the zoo but it was so crowded you could not get any where near it .The closest we could get to the zoo was the Forest Park visitor center. This is why we ended up at the History Museum. While there a local performance group Dance Discovery and the musical trio Tu'Penny Uprights performed music and dances pirates reveled in. I shot a short video of a dance lesson.

Here are the pictures I took in Flip animation mode. I took one hundred pictures from the same spot and the girls were walking around the trees.

I took a few photos of things around my house that I thought would look good in black and white but most of the pictures were from previous assignments. I do not have photo shop so I had to use Picasa. All week long I found myself looking at things and trying to picture them in black and white.

Macro Photography

I went looking for things to photograph in my back yard and Forest Park on Saturday but it was so windy that I only got a few shots. Then I found things around my house. It was easier to get the light right outside. The photos inside were much more of a challenge because of the shadows and lighting.

Artifical light portraits

My niece was more than eager to help me. It was hard to make time to do the assignment since my dad was put in the hospital. When I was doing the portraits Megan's glasses were hard to photograph so we did them without her glasses on.
