so i’ve gone night shooting twice … it really has made somethings click about shooting manual. Maybe because i’m less mobile being tethered to the tripod and have the time to set up and go through settings … i’ve been happily surprised with some of the results but realize i have so much still to learn – even to what i consider a good exposure — 2 locations – down by the wortham theatre and buffalo bayou and the museum district by mecom fountain. Also had the opportunity through the assignment houston group to have after hours access to the museum of natural sciences, how cool is that!. though not technically a “night shot” i was able to go through alot of the same principals since i was again – with tripod.

my first attempt at fireworks .. yes, i cheated and used the “fireworks” setting on my camera ..  sparklers for dummies … but i at least pushed the shutter and attempted to time everything. I know if i shoot any again i will definitely go for mis-en-place …without a sense of context it seems like a bit of soul is missing from the shots

playing with multiple images and layering … the typical morning in my home. I have seen several other composites on flickr and thought i would give it a try, what better models than my animals. An exercise in photoshop and patience.
