Stealing Home Part 1
01.9.2010
Since not a lot of people check out blogs on the weekend, I’ll be posting smaller, random photos on the weekend.
Last night, I got back to my house at about 2:30am and some snow was falling (and sticking to the ground!). Since snow is a rare event in Nashville, I figured it demanded a couple of self-portraits – timer-style. I went inside and grabbed a Gap box so I wouldn’t have to set my camera in the snow.
I played around doing goofy things and changing settings in the camera. I call this picture “Stealing Home” – kind of a simulation of someone stealing a base in baseball.
SHOOT NOTES
Interesting facts and what I learned.
- Doing this made me want to take the “show” to a real baseball field at night. In due time, I tell you – it’s gonna happen! That’s why this is Part 1!
- For anyone interested in my camera settings…I messed around changing lots of things, but this was shot at ISO640, f/4.0, 1.3s.
Throughout 2009, I shot a crazy number of photos but never posted them. For 40 consecutive days, I'm going to post these shoots. Something new every day!
This looks really cool. Like, seriously.
dude! Epic pic. Is this just exposure time stuff? or did you edit the photo afterwards
@jessica – thanks a lot!
@billy thanks, bro! mostly exposure time – yeah. shutter open for 1.3s. only edits were for color temp and contrast. the motion streaks are exactly what the camera captured.
