The Old Carnival

Last night Dan and I shot around an almost deserted carnival in the parking lot at Gordon’s Photo. Using wide angle lenses and high ISO’s, some of the shots came out interesting. Here are a few.

IR in Idaho

 

ID_IR_SawOn Dan’s advice I shot 10 GB of pictures in Idaho this summer. How wonderful to get away from the speed of everyday life. These are two of the Infrared pictures from this trip. The top is a picture of the Boulder mountains, while the bottom is the Wood River. I bought a #87 Kodak wratten filter which I hung over the lense. Finding the correct exposure was a challenge, but these were shot at ISO 400, F 1.4, 2 second shutter speed.
