New to TPF, Some Images

[Jaq]

Just wanted to say hey and show boat a few pictures I've taken over the years. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI and I've been shooting for about 3 years casually and I'm just starting to get more into it. Enjoy and please comment!

Hand held time lapse out west in Oregon. Steep, wet and worth it!

I practically had to wrestle people on the Maid of the Mist for this one.

Me two years ago. Teenagers and nudity...

1 and 2 dont do much for me, but i find 3 very interesting... care to share how you did this?

I mostly enjoy 1 and 2 for the stories behind them. They aren't amazing but considering what I had to do to get them I feel a little bit of pride for them

As far as 3 its one of the first shots I took with my camera. I set it to a 30 second shutter and put a flashlight on the ground, an older one that has a yellowish caste to it. I let it expose for about 10 seconds before I jumped in front of it and struck a pose and held it till the shutter released. Zero editing (I might have done auto levels, not sure). The only things I now wish I had done (and I still can do) is to soften the wall behind it, as you can see the drywall texture in the beam of light above my head.
