NaBloPoMo 2014: Chuck at the Disco (working with light)
Tonight I’m taking a break from the nature photos to share a photography assignment from earlier this year. In looking through all of my photos recent nature photos my mind wandered to the light and how I should be working with it.
Tonight’s photo is both homework assignment and part of the yearlong One Object Photo project I read about on The Photoblographer.
Charlie Brown Tangled in Lights (strobe lights) was a great idea offered by a friend that never really panned out. I like the light in this photo so I kept it but the original concept was Chuck at the Disco with me capturing the strobe lights in my photos but I could never make that happen. I’m not sure if you need a fog machine to somehow make the strobes visible but working with extremely short and extremely long exposures and everything in between I never did capture the strobe lights in the manner in which I envisioned this series of photos. Like I said, I like the light in this photo so it made this cut.
