Just bought a tripod :)

[tanya7x]

Last night I bought my first tripod and I was so excited because I've wanted one for a while. So last night I figured I'd play around with it and bought some glow sticks and started shooting away! Yes I know these aren't the best photos in the world but this is the first time I have shot long exposures and this is why I'm sticking them in just for fun Just a few from the bunch that I thought came out pretty cool!! :mrgreen:

No need to apologize---#3 turned out pretty well! Good shooting, kiddo! Keep it up! Whatever you did on #3 looks awesome!

Extreamly creative, good job!

Very cool! You can use this technique, whatever you're doing, in other setting as well.

As Derrel is saying: 3 turned out really nicely, so next time you apply this (for you) new technique, look for yet less showing as background (wall with shadows), so you get even fewer distractions and voilà!

What tripod / head did you get?

That's really cool. I understand the tripod and long exposure time, but how did you do the light effect? I know it's using a glow stick, but I don't see a person standing there waving it around. Or am I just not seeing a person?

Thanks guys I was pretty excited.

What tripod / head did you get?

All I know is that its a Targus. Heres the link to see it... Targus Tgt-58tr 58? Camera and Camcorder Tripod - Walmart.com

These are awesome!! I've always wanted to have a go at doing these!

Is there part of your face in number 2? On the right?

 

[Jtompson]

I think maybe I'm just seeing things actually.. Can anyone else see it??!

Since the person is not emitting light, if the person moves around fast enough, they don't reflect enough light to show up in a very long exposure.

It's the same reason as why if you're doing star trails, you can actually clean your lens off with a cloth in the middle of the exposure.

I like your pictures. Makes me think of colorful ghosts.
I love making this kind of effect with light.
Do you know about physiograms. They are made by a light source swinging on a wire.
If i may, have a look at my physiograms here http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/general-gallery/301117-my-physiograms.html

Did you get any where your in the exposure? Those are the scary ones when you're see through!

I see a person in 2, right in front of the window, but it looks sort of like a dude with a beard.
