Fort Phantom Hill evening
Thanks to Nil Santana and Donald Simpson for again helping our second faculty/staff lightpainting evening go so smoothly. Long-exposure shooting–like so much of digital photography–is a lot of experimentation, but fortunately the film is cheap.

Remind me who was crouched down at the bottom of the chimney, completely ruining your shot. Is that me or Dan?

Love the profile of Michael while we were taking his other portrait. Got to say, lightpainting at dusk was far more interesting than I expected.
Still love the fireplace shots. Gorgeous.

Lots of folks found ways to take the iconic images of a water tower, a windmill, or the facade of the dance hall and help us see them again. Love the reflections shot. What time of day was that? Seems to blend from day to night across the image.

Great weekend all the way around. Thanks to everyone for posting pics. I absolutely love the contrast of intertwining branches and architectural stability playing off of one another. Great images that focus our attention.

I like being turned into an apparition in the nighttime shot. We certainly need to take another group out for lightpainting this spring. Let’s look at dates for Fort Phantom.

Lots of great images here, but I love how the windmill slowly emerges out of the tree. Really nice image.
Thank Ron for us for sharing his expertise along the way as well.

I’m looking into the glitch in the post by email that gives me all the credit for everyone’s work, but who shot the animals (not literally)?

Love the surface of the water in the pump pic and the divided left-turn sign in the reflection. Thanks to the Powells for joining us during a busy weekend. Great shots.

Love this tribute to the cameras that make it all possible. My dad said tonight that the first camera he ever bought was an Argus that captured our first family pictures from their wedding on, replaced soon by a Mamiya with removable lenses and slide film. I’ve owned many cameras but was thinking this weekend about the first digital cameras that grew up alongside my children–some of the first pictures of my son were taken on a Sony Mavica that saved 640×480 images to floppy disk.
For all the ways that photography is about much more than just gear, cameras can become uniquely personal tools.

The first shot is really striking. I think you’ll be surprised by some of the visual information that is in there once you get this into your software. Were you shooting RAW or JPEG?
