Creativity Exercise #14: Doin' it w/ the lights out
Shooting low light is an art form that I feel a lot of people pass by. I'd like to see some low light shots this month. I'm talking candle light, moonlight, single light bulb stuff.
Try to shoot for ambient light, if your ISO setting is noisy, convert it to B&W.
**Basic photo editing (Review the "How this works" thread for clarification).
**Each participant can post as many shots as they like, but try not to go crazy.
Next Exercise: 06-01-2006

These are my favourite 'lights out' shot that I've done. Don't have much time to do new versions at the moment but I thought I'd share  | | | |

It's a long exposure, moving a flashlight/ torch around in a dark room. The brush never moves. | | | |

Wow, these are all really cool...
I love the roman candle shots. I'll have to try that next time I want to blow up a little piece of my paradise.
