Eric&Susan

these are just a few ideas I played around with last night, 1-26-05. Any thoughts?














Thanks, Eric

Hey Eric!

I like the last one best!! I think the concept is is a very good one perhaps I would take 2 exposures.. 1 for the moon and 1 for the flame, I think a more flamelike image would do the trick to finish it off!!

I agree... the last one is a great shot... however, I wish I could see the flame detailed in the shot and not just a white spot.

peace.

The third one is cool I think, because it kind of shows the motion of a flame, and how it can dance around. How long was your exposure on that one? Maybe an even longer exposure would make a small flame look like a huge fire cone.

I think it was 2 seconds. Maybe I'll try it longer.

I'm assuming by two exposures you mean two shots and then layering them? If so unfortunatley (sp?) I don't have photoshop, I ony have picture it! 9. I 'm looking at getting elements 3.0 but right now I'm stuck with what I got.:cry

That's what I meant

that one is free and has the usage of Layers

I also like the third one the best. I'd be interested to see it with different exposures. I like the soft glow on the moon's face.

Alright I tried to reshoot the moonlight one. Any better? Worse? Could still use some work?





Thanks Eric

I think in this one you can't really tell it's a moon face. If I hadn't seen the previous moon shot, I probably wouldn't have recognized it. It's still a cool shot, but I think I prefer your first moon shot.
