Carousel

Some experimentation with slow flash (rear curtain sync) and some narrow depth of field.

Playing With Fire

Fire.  Yes, it’s destructive, but it’s incredibly beautiful and a worthy muse to any photographer.  If you’re looking for some inspiration in the new year, consider using fire as a subject.  Not sure how to go about doing so?  Well, you’re in luck.  The Digital Photography School has another great article about doing just that:  [...]

The Migratory Patterns of Cars

With yesterday’s post, The Beauty of Blur, I was inspired to do some bokeh rich experiments.  This is a break from my normal work, but I really enjoyed working on this little compilation.  It was a nice rainy night, perfect for this sort of work.  Hope you like, let me know your thoughts.
