The Red Barn from Reality to the Abstract

[cpelsy2k1]

I began shooting this red barn after sunset in order to capture its red glow while there was still a hint of light. However after i could no longer get a decent shot due to the poor lighting i started messing around with light trails. I think the results came out well...

1) The red barn in detail with some light left in the sky

2) The red barn reflected in a pond

5) No longer able to keep the camera still with the shutter open

6) If you look carefully you can still see part of the barn

8) This was done by rotating my camera vigorously with the shutter open

9) I believe i was initially trying to spell my name with the light in this picture but as you can see that didn't happen

10) Finally this was done by sort of making the crucifix with the camera a couple of times with the lens open

I assume you popped the hallucinogens between pics 4 & 5, no?

Cool series. I really didn't know where we were going until we got there.
