November 30th 2008 - Inspiration pt5

November 30th 2008 - Inspiration pt5 by Stephen Poff.
Explored! #3

If you'd like to see this larger FEEL FREE.

Today was spent on the road on the trip home from the folks house. It was fun, but It was nice to finally be home... except...

Baxter got out. I drove around the neighborhood and found him tooling around with a Pomeranian and he had all kinds of stuff tangled up in his hair. So I had to bring him home and wash and brush him for an hour. But at least I got to see "the Invasion" in the process... good flick.

So here is the 5th in a continuing series that I've done over the past few months. This represents the fact that sometimes your head will mess you up... and you just have to let inspiration flow from within without filtering it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but often I'll find ideas that just happen by happy accidents and I learn a lot from them. So there you go.

If you're interested in seeing the rest of my series, you should also check out PART 1, PART 2, PART 3 and PART 4

Strobist info: Alien Bees B800 through an umbrella for the keylight (above camera) and a Canon 430ex and Vivitar 285hv at the left and right rear for separation.

I love this series - I've tried something similar but couldn't get it to work right at all! Is it easy enough to explain how it's done perchance?

And my damn work computer won't let me fave it! I'll have to put that right later . . .

Thanks guys!

@ TragicFame: I do a lot of light writing in camera with flashlights and such, but this series required more finesse, so the light streaks are done in photoshop.

So i just found your work through popular photography and thought i should just take a peek at your stream, and wow.
Im so thankful i did. Im a 14 year old who is an amatuer at photography but it is already my passion. I have been working with light for much of my photogrpahic career its so fasinating and such a broad subject. Youre work is awe inspiring. I really do love this shot and the editing of it . You are trually an marvelous photographer.
