Those are also nice pictures. That "ghost" photo is really cool!

I like that last one, but I was thinking of using a dark room (makeshift studio, to photograph clones of myself without having to copy and paste myself or take two separate pictures.

Another great set of pics!! Love the steps, and of course the cat.

Here's a few more, most of which were taken just to play around with my camera.

This is a hummingbird hovering in mid-flight. I'm impressed that the shutter speed was fast enough to stop the wings without blurring.

This is a stained glass window in a local church.

This is a 30-second time exposure at night to the south. Visible in the center of the photo is the center of the Milky Way. In the midst of that, you might be able to pick out Sagittarius, and Scorpio is visible on the right of the picture. I adjusted the contrast to make everything more visible (including the graininess of the photo

). About the unusual colors: the moon was to the right, explaining the greenish tint, and the orange at the bottom left comes from light pollution from the arc-sodium lights of a nearby city.

Absolutely no digital manipulation here. This is the way it came out of the camera. I figured out some way to get a type of double-exposure. It flashes, then keeps the shutter open, then flashes again before the shutter closes. I moved into the picture after the first flash, but before the second. I thought it was cool.

I really like your photos.. The hummingbird is really well captured!

I once did one of those ghost photos as well, though I did use digital manipulation (took one photo with me in it and one without, merged them in photoshop). The way you did it was way cooler, though.

Those are good pictures. But how do you get such unusual perspectives?

***Khamûl*** · 08-29-2006, 12:49 AM

Nerdanel, I think your ghost looks just as good as mine. (From a technical perspective -- since you're female you have an aesthetic advantage.

)

Hah! There's nothing aesthetic about me in that pic.

I had been biking for 25 kilometres, and it was almost raining. I went to a random church and tried this out. ^^ I'm glad you think it's okay, though. But I still think the way you did it was way cooler.

Rosie Gamgee · 08-29-2006, 01:54 PM

I love the rock with the barbed wire. WOW! Do you sell prints?

Unfortunately, I don't.. You are the first one in the whole wide world to ask that, so.. XD

I'm glad you like it, though!^^

Nerdanel · 08-29-2006, 04:12 PM

Ok, so here's more.. Nope, this never stops.

I have no idea, but I would say no since it was not a dwarf.

Why?

trolls' bane · 08-31-2006, 08:33 PM

Oh, no, they're just called that. They're goats. From Nigeria (but now residing everywhere).
