A Landscapers Dream

Try light painting it next. See if you can do that in one exposure. I can't yet, but I'll get there dammit. I swear. What? I know, you don't believe me. But I will. I promise this time. No, it's not going to be like all the other... NO, I'M NOT A PANSY. I AM WILLING TO TRY NEW THINGS. UGH. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERY NIGHT.

Hahahahaha. I have faith in you. Go forth and actuate!

I myself have done very little light painting...

how does that square thing screw into the lens hood ?


. . . . this forum is gonna get spammed til the end of time with his d800 pictures ...

Also, it's a push on. You just set the lens on the square mount piece and hit it until it's on.

What type of hammer do you use to hit it until it's on ?



. . . . he should know i'm joking ...

Ball-peen...

that thing is a beast at night. The dynamic range you can get in one frame is pretty awesome. A few of my astrophotographer friends use a D800 and I've been blown away by it

Painting with light sounds like a solid plan. I'm gonna try doing that.

I love light painting. Looks awesome, costs... don't ask me why I spent $80 on a flashlight, OK? There's no good reason. You win.

Haha. But that light painting probably didn't take an hour and a half and 10 photos and layers and all that, right? So you win in terms of ease of shooting [emoji106]

 

[minicoop1985]

30 seconds, about 5 minutes of editing, but probably 10 attempts to get it juuuust right.

You also could have set up in a dark room, and turned your shutter speed to bulb. Then walk around the camera with a flash and hit different parts of the camera, that way you did not have to layer different pictures together. But very cool picture. I really like it

The Mamiya looks pretty good on that reflective table top surface! Love the reflection in the table!

I prefer this way. Mostly because I can control the look of the light on each part. If I had done it your way I most likely would have washed out spots and overlapped lighting sections etc.

P.S., I'm sick of the lame weather. I wanna be using this for landscapes, not as a prop!
