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.
If you joined us, please consider sharing a few of your favorites to the blog. For instructions on posting photos, see the Post by Email page.

Digital Academy group shots
Thanks to the dozens of ACU faculty members and their spouses who have joined us to make each Digital Academy a unique experience.

This is such a totally different skill set than the hundreds of pictures most people have taken in their lives. Just fun to break out of the routine and see how you could play with light.
Really appreciated everyone striking out in faith to try something completely new.

Still loving these photos of the smokestack looking toward Albany. Nil tells me that any of us that left exposures open for more than 45 seconds or so will see a natural blur to the stars. Whether you believe in Ptolemy or Copernicus, the difficulty is that the stars just won’t sit still.
Nil found an optional astronomical tripod mount if someone would like to spring for the $400-500. . .

Absolutely love the single beam of light creating the slice of prairie across the middle of the image. Really nice.
Are those windmills on the horizon?

I love this shot as well. I think you’re right, I can see the little red lights from the windmills too.
(**Sorry, Nil, I inadvertently deleted your comment, so I’ve added it back. . . KD)

Funny how shooting a wide angle lens on your full-frame camera looks different than in my pics of the same stage from the same spot. I like the slight blur of the strumming fingers a lot.

The bumper sticker is great setting the others in context but I love the way you see a skewed picture of the world in the chrome.

Seems like Camille and Houston were talking with the group and Mike is in the foreground taking a picture. Haunting.

The simple license plate shot is striking and almost monochromatic in feel with little color info drawing your attention. Nice.
