Chasing shadows and light can be great exercise
The shutters and multi-paned windows in our house often create some interesting shadows and beams of light on our floors and walls. The best times are early in the morning and late in the day. I have learned to run for my camera as soon as I notice something interesting because things change fast and and if I don’t act fast the effect that inspired me can quickly disappear.
Many of our windows have some pretty old glass which can create some mysterious and interesting lighting effects.
Interesting photos
Thanks, here’s one from a while back that was a very lucky catch: https://karlthibodeaux.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/weird-image-wednesday-3/
The wall light play looks kind of eerie 😉
I was thinking the same thing.
The second photo looks like a x-ray result at first glance.
What camera do you use?
And do you just mess with shutter speed or also the ISO?
I use a Sony a550 and mostly use a Minolta lens from a film camera. It has a nice look (especially backgrounds) and can be pretty sharp if I pay attention. I shoot in aperture priority and shutter priority modes fairly often, sometimes manual and sometimes I change the ISO. I use manual focus quite a bit. Thanks for your comments and interest. Hope you stop by again sometime.
Wow that’s awesome.
Taking photos in manual I found wasn’t too difficult. The part I struggled with is the photoshop aspect of photography and no problem!
I most definitely will drop by again! 🙂
Also I shoot in RAW format. It’s a good thing to learn to do because it gives you the best options in post production – especially for highlights and shadows.
