Photo 365 - Day 97 (City of Smoke and Fire)
Day 97 (October 8th, 2010)
Title: City of Smoke and Fire
We were driving around Santa Cruz along the beach enjoying the night air, when I decided to pull out the Canon and take a few shots. I wasn't really trying to shoot anything particular or even get a good shot, but sometimes when you get home and look at the photos you shoot, you are surprised at what you get. This shot is of West Cliff Drive, at around 10pm without any lights. I was using my fixed 50mm lens at f/1.4 to try and get as much light as possible, but it was still taking 1/2 a second or more to fire.
I called this shot "City of Smoke and Fire" because the blurred lights from the houses look kind of like fire and the "smoke" is actually the trees. Its ironic to me, because when I look at the photo I imagine a scene out of a "Blade Runner" type movie (or something very Cyberpunk), but in reality its all of these nice houses surrounded by trees right near the ocean.
Whoever said "Photographs capture reality" clearly didn't play around with their camera enough.
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 46 (Combustion)
Day 46 (August 18th, 2010)
Title: Combustion
Continuing with my Science Theme for this week, today I thought I'd tackle combustion! Now, as much fun as it would be to blow things up, I saw three small flaws with that plan: 1) Don't want to damage the camera, 2) Getting C-4 explosives is a bit harder than one would think, and 3) I don't think our insurance covers 'self-inflicted explosion'.
My thought was to catch a match just as it reaches critical ignite temperature and take a shot. Wow, does that sound simple when I type it, but in actual practice it was waaaaaay more annoying. Lets just say, that a match ignites very quickly. I think I went through 2 boxes of matches and two, 4GB memory cards and after I was done, I have about 10-15 shots that are worth keeping. I was also trying to get as close as possible to the flame without damaging my lens, so until I can make a fireproof glass barrier, I think this is about as close as I'm willing to risk. I hope you enjoy it.
