Challenge 63...

Mike Lane

I've decided that if I am able to get on the net, I should be posting photos to the photo challenges (well, only if I'm not the one running them for the week that is). I love long exposure shots so this is a good one for me. It looks like I'll get a chance to take some fireworks shots on friday. :clap If so one of those will probably be my entry.

Anyhow, here are the only ones that I've had a chance to capture recently.

WWI Biplane



Jet Engine


Click either photo for exif.

yeah right. I think they'd have me arrested before my shutter closed.

Hah, are they really that much faster than your shutter? :P

Try doing a gaussian blurr on the propellers, that might give it a good feeling of motion.

Do you have any other photos from that day that you may be able to use? Maybe one showing the entire wingspan of the plane?

And since the area is dark, try doing a b/w conversion!

I'm not going to photoshop propeller spin These are just preliminary shots. I was able to get fireworks shots last night so I probably won't use either of those 2 shots.

Nice shot of the biplane. A bit of streaming light trails might "pop" it a bit.:D
