Week 1





For the beginning of my concentration series I experimented with taking long exposure shots. I had some trouble at first with the long exposure and trying to get my camera to focus, but I had more success toward the end of my photo shoot. It was really cold when I was taking my pictures, so I wish I had spent more time getting my camera setting right.  I liked the result of a few of my photos, but I wish I had more time to edit them before posting them. I had a lot of fun being creative with the flashlight and experimenting with different techniques. One thing I learned was the longer you hold the light in one spot, the brighter it becomes in the photo. I tried driving my car up the switchbacks, experimenting with headlights, and taillights. I think my images could have a lot different effect if I spent some time editing them in Photoshop.
