Here's another example of a challenge we didn't actually submit pictures to, but we took pictures of anyways. I went to the New Boston fireworks show in New Hampshire this 4th of July, which is where these two pictures came from. Because it's pretty ineffective to use a flash when photographing fireworks, longer exposures can yield some pretty neat blurred-light images, similar to the Body (Light) Painting challenge. Anywho, here's the gallery, enjoy!
For those of you who care, we had 3/4 of the blog team reunion this weekend. Jerry graced us with his presence, but unfortunately Tim was off winning national airplane competitions and such, so he missed out on the fun.
Anyways, I figured it was about time for me to update you on a past Shooting Challenge. Bradley and I tried this one out after the contest due date, but it was pretty awesome nonetheless. The technique is simple: leave the exposure on for an extended amount of time (10-30 seconds usually does the trick), turn the flash off, and draw! Lighting is usually best around sunset if you want to see the people in the photo, which was part of the rules of this challenge. We're not in the gallery, but check it out anyways.
