Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Spent a chilly but enjoyable evening at NEAM yesterday for their first night photo shoot. Here's a few of the 180 pictures I took. The Vulcan looks much more menacing in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Cheers. This was my first time trying a night photoshoot on my DSLR. I'm fairly pleased with the results. NEAM are having a 'Battle of Bulge' event in December, so I'll have another go with the re-enactors. Last night, almost all the pictures were long exposures, resulting in all the people becoming ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Those might be very interesting to see would you post a example ? Perhaps something to try at future events for tribute effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sure, give me a little while to sort through and resize the ghosts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) The Ghosts. I think the trick to create a ghost is to do a long exposure, have the re-enactor run into shot and stay still a few seconds, then run out again. This should give a sharp figure who is also transparent! Edited September 5, 2020 by Jessie The Jeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I used to have a lot of fun in my mispent yoof doing nightshoots in grave yards (inevitable - see student snapper - the bleeding obvious vol IV) and of the many dumped cars in the urban eden I grew up in. I used to do long exposures and have someone fire off a flash gun by hand in the distance or from an angle to get odd lighting effects. They didn't always work. The technique proved useful in the glory days of proper forest rallying in the early 1980s - travelling up from London to north Yorkshire or into Wales and southern Scotland. I got some great pix - but my mate and I usually saved the effects stuff for the back markers. I think using a DSLR the way I do has made me lazy. I'm happy with the pix - I still work hard at it (does it ever show? Dunno), but the willingness to muck about and experiment has faded. The devil is time. The four letter word. If I had more of it, I think I'd go to photography school and learn it all properly. It's never too late. Meantime I am in editing school. What did my maths teacher, Mr Pallister from Penrith, always say? Could do better - see me. Nothing changes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 So Steve...weren't you eaten by guarddogs and beaten up by security? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 No, but I did suggest next time they have a guard with a big Alsation patrolling the area around the Vulcan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 The Battle of the Bulge event in December at NEAM, should be more challenging as it will be mostly dioramas with people. They're planning some 45 gallon drums to light some fires in to keep warm which should also create some nice lighting effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
