Description
I'm a sucker for a foggy night and bright street lamps.I gave ~cubemb 's style a go; I think I did reasonably well. Check out his gallery for better photography in this vein.
Oh yeah, that's me up there.
Tripod + timer.

one thing that I have noticed is that a remote helps in more ways than just self-portraits. Say you were trying to capture the image of a jumpy animal that wouldn't let you get close enough to take its photo. A remote would help out wonders.
I bought mine for not only self-portraits, but also just so I don't disturb the camera in any way, shape, form, or fashion when i do extended exposures of less than thirty seconds. It helps out a lot for me at least.

That's true. The time is kind of cumbersome for long exposures.

They certainly are. That whole day, I couldn't wait for the sun to go down and take my gear around town.
Thanks for the words.

nice work on the silhouettes! Looks picture perfect, if the light's a little too bright...

I love how the lamp and tree appear to be leaning towards each other, as if pressing down upon you. The "highlighting" on your cap is also really cool. Your usual best

Hey, I like that interpretation. Pressing down.. Yeah, it is a little oppressive, isn't it?
Thank you so much for your support.

nice, i like it. maybe the green grass could have been unsaturated and darkened to give it an overall common hue (that nice 'natural' blue).

BurlapZack In reply to romanu [2006-03-21 05:48:01 +0000 UTC]
Hmm... that's not a bad idea actually. I already desaturated some of the yellow and orange lights in the background.
Thanks for the input!
