Steve and family invited Sarah and I over for dinner the other week, we did the classic Wisconsin backyard Bar-B-Q that I guess includes camping in the backyard that night. Sarah and I have always been a little hesitant with the Brat thing, but these were the best we have had. And same with asparagus; man, soaking anything in enough oil/galic and grilling them can make even green things taste good! We had a ton of fun and I am glad I brought my camera (and using only a simple prime lens was again freeing.)
The next photo is proof that Nikon cameras (like mine) can be used by Canon photographers (like Steve)…but I digress.
Steve and I lead a
photo group at black Hawk Church, this month we are talking about Light Painting again. (previous post
here and
here) For this reason, and the fact it was a good opportunity, I tried it while Steve and his son got ready for
bed camping that night. (Although, if you want to get picky, I used strobes and not flashlights because I didn’t bring any) The basic premise is that you leave you shutter open for quite a while to gather as much ambient as you can but this also gives you time to run around and light things up with your flashlight…or in this case a strobe.
The first one has Steve waving his flashlight around in the tent while I ran around firing my strobe at the trees. The second one has my strobe inside the tent firing down and the outside is a composite (taken from another photo) where I held the strobe off at a distance.
Thanks again Steve (and family) for having us over for a good time.

These are so cool. And, as photographer Ray Ketcham once said, "Just turned out that way for equipment, the stuff going on in my head isn’t brand specific."
