Light Painting at Tschida Uploaded: 12/01/17 7:50 PM GMT

Image: Light Painting at Tschida

Although I used my 8mm fisheye for this photo, I aimed it directly at the horizon along Lake Tschida's shore, in south-central North Dakota, so as to not deform it with an unnatural curve. What I got in return was 167 degrees of the scene in one frame (as opposed to 46 degrees from a 50mm), stretching from the north to the south-southwest. I left the shutter open for 45 seconds, "painting" the tree at the bottom with a red flashlight for no more than one second, and I placed the horizon at the center to show that, here anyway, the sky is as important as what's below it. The tree exhibits a slight blur; that's from a slight intermittent breeze during those 45 seconds (if I waited for perfectly calm nights I'd hardly ever go out). Some might say that tree color constitutes manipulation, except that I did it physically, on-site, with a flashlight, and not in the software. It's the photo my wife and I have decided to use on our Christmas card this year. Hope you like it half as much as we do. [By the way, if you look to the horizon on the far right, then move left, you come to the second light, this one very tiny. Above it is a conical point of black land sticking up... that's Heart Butte.] 12.2-11

Nik,
Thks so much for your kind words. This image really did come out nice if I say so myself. You should have seen the original images. They were HORRIBLE! It was the HDR software that did magic on them. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I don't think we have met before. Hope I hear from you again.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the Field of Wheat. I admit that I delve in the dark art of post-production improvements, to give that final push, when my camera fails slightly. Rather oddly, as I realised on the day, it was the first time in my own memory that I had ever walked through a wheat field. Strange! Maybe the image captured my surreal enjoyment of the moment... :-)

@
Hoi, Nikoneer !
Thank you very much for your honest comment on 'Streets of Bourtange' !
I agree with you, the 'white wall' (infact it is a white painted house) is not very nice on this shot. However it makes part of the fortification 'Bourtange', that I would like to show to the caedes members, and visitors!
I had already cropped it as far as possible, but I prefer to
show both sides of the street, with a better perpective result, I think !
Thanks again, and I hope to see you again with your very good
constructive comments !
Regards !
John

Thanks for your defence of my Ward Stone Entry. Continuing the conversation on documentary type photos and the ratings issue, I think we can just ignore those indexes because not all photographs uploaded on Caedes are for artistic purposes or destined to be desktop images.

Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals

Waterfall in the Springtime was taken from an overlook at the top of the gorge, glad they had a wood fence since you stood right at the edge of a cliff. I try to act like the steep drop doesn't bother me but it does a little. I got about 20 more of these. The waterfall does have a name I just have to look it up.
Enjoy the cool breeze Nik!

Thank you for your nice words and great comment on my 'One night in İzmir - Asansör' and adding it to your favourites. Glad you like it. Your point is true about portrait mode. Here portrait photos always get bad points. But we should not limit ourselves to landscape mode. Thanks.

Thanks for being first at commenting on my recent photo! It's been a very long time since I've submitted a photo. We just took this trip to the mountain and felt it was a somewhat worthy entry. :)

awwww thanks Nik for the warm and caring words you left on ~Silent Sentry~.

I humbly admit that this is my favorite image. It was pure luck...not out shooting that day, just happened to have my camera with me and looking down the row of headstones.

I started shooting from the car window and gradually worked my down to the image you are seeing.

You are too kind my friend! :o)

p.s. thanks for fav'ing it as well!
