OK, even though I when I take pictures of things and landscapes, they make me say blah, thats boring, I think I may give a try on some cityscapes with a "pop."
The IDEA: There are a few interesting pieces of graffiti, around St.Louis. One that I find interesting, although artistically there is not much to it, reads "Forgive Yourself." It's interesting to me that someone went to all trouble of destroying property, to write a fairly meaningful message. This is high on the side of a building that you can see from the highway.
So the plan would be for me to find a good vantage pint to set up my tripod, And Ideally have someone on the phone ready to "paint" the graffiti with a couple flashguns, while I a take a long exposure, all when I say GO.
Now, One problem I foresee is that the person doing the painting, may not be able to get close enough to use the flash effectively, so my thought was to use a couple of million candlepower spotlights that plug into the cigarette lighter. Although this may require a much longer exposure.
The Ideal result would be a cityscape at night with the graffiti looking like a well illuminated billboard.
Any Suggestion? And not the basic crap, like low iso and stopping down etc, but more suggestions on creative lighting and anything other ideas.
Crap, I spelled Night wrong.:blushing:
