A second shot of the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol last week, this time taken looking between the towers and with a long exposure to capture the traffic trails.

Milky Way over Donner

When its 100 degrees in Sacramento is the perfect time to head to Donner Lake for the evening. The temperature is perfect, no wind, and the stars are rather bright. Some of them reflect in the lake. The darkness along with the quiet, still air makes for a special time.

Graceful Presence

Graceful Presence

Some friends and I got together to do some light painting photography at night. I was skeptical of the outcome, as I try to make my photos tell a story, and not just be "oh, look at the pretty lights." I was really pleased with the outcome here. I feel like I've created an old time story here. We've got what used to be a grand (relatively speaking) house, with a great staircase going up to the porch, that has long been abandoned. I've set up these led votive candles to create somewhat of a warm/romantic feeling. Then I used my EL wire to create movement coming down the staircase. This was my favorite of my shots, and to me it looks like a woman coming down the stairs. Perhaps a woman in her wedding dress whose life was shortened tragically, keeping her from moving on from this eternal plain.

Beach Rider!!!

Beach Rider!!!

Besides the actual beach my favorite spot in MB is Broadway at the Beach. It is a large "outlet mall" like place with beachy type stores and not generic clothing stores, like Polo, Nike ect. They also have a bunch of attractions there. The Beach Rider is a powerful boat that speeds through the lake in the middle and makes really sharp turns. I would love to do it one day as it looks like a ton of fun. Seems as if this boat load is having a blast!

Appley Tower

Appley Tower

Appley Tower is a Victorian mock castle tower on the esplanade overlooking the beach at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. I visited here last night with my camera club and although I took plenty of shots there were none that I was *that* happy with. This is probably my favourite from the evening.

A long exposure, 30 seconds at f/7.1, ISO 640. Whilst the shot was being taken I used my little maglite to 'paint' the brickwork with light to help illuminate it in the dark, although the effect of a lamp post can be seen to the left hand side of it.

I like that the steps and railings start in the lower-right corner and lead your eye up to the main subject itself, and also that I captured the movement of the clouds in the sky and the stars too. This is also razor sharp at 100% and I just love that the focussing of the 5D Mark III is so good in low-light like this.
