I admit, I didnt use a "real" camera when I was filming Dawson's Creek, I was using a http://www.arri.com/prod/cam/arricam/arricam.htm

Elli has some of you talking 2 your self's, others telling others they don't know what they are talking about, I'm setting here laughing my ass off.

Great job Elli, one smart lady. :1orglaugh :thumbsup :1orglaugh

hahahahahaha....= the word c o o k i e is hahahaha hehehe

it certainly is a nice photo :thumbsup

no, this is one photograph done with an instant of flash, and almost 10 full seconds of shutter time capturing a single light source.

Don't try to sound smart about something you don't know about.

It is possible, it has been done before and it will be done again.

Take your negativity elsewhere and stop trying to create drama where there isn't any.

that's some mad skilz

She aint bad :thumbsup

Yes we covered the exsposure time, and as I said, with ONE photo with 10 seconds of exsposure, her WHOLE image would be blurred.

No, Im not smart, I was just hired to film movies that millions of people watched, as you sit at home with your walmart 1meg digital camera and pretend your a photographer.

You won't win man.

Your tripping over your own words now, earlier you said it was many photographs, now your saying its 1, so which is it :1orglaugh

Don't have a 1 meg digital camera and never been to Walmart.

So now that we've established you talk out of your ass, I'll just assume your entire post as such.

Earlier, I never said anything about it being many photographs. Care to show me where I did?

Again, talking out of ass.

Okay you didnt say it was done with many photographs, your alter ego with the same exact ip said it, you even use alot of the same wording as in "talk out your ass"


The image is a fake.

Your reply shows you still don't have a clue about this method

It's not about aperature, or fstop, it's about EXPOSURE !!!

We're talking still photography here, NOT videography (which I'm assuming you're well versed in). What does your film experience have to do with still photography techniques ? Yes, they're similiar, but very different in what you can achieve with them.


Look 2-3 issues back in "ShutterBug" magazine and there is a great article on Light Painting. You cant light paint with video cameras dude, that's why you're experience is irrelevant to this discussion.


Like I said, anyone with real photography experience can see how this is done.


*edit: 50 opinions out of the ass!*

:)

WRONG !


In darkness, she would only be visible in the picture from the initial strobe fire. For the rest of the exposure, only the flashlight beam would be visible.

alter ego with the same exact ip?

You can see people's IP's on the board? I only ever post using this account. I have no alias's. Are you on some kind of drugs?

I've never said what you say I said. I know how the pic was done because I've done similar photographs.. none that worked out quite so well, but I've never put in as much effort.

I know for a fact that it IS possible. And anything you try to tell me will ever convince me otherwise.

I dont know if its a fake or not, all I know is its a bad ass pic and I voted for it !

:thumbsup :thumbsup
This part of the contest was based on originality and creativity wasnt it? Or did I misunderstand the mission of these pics.

You were filming on Dawson's Creek? So, then you know my friend Pam Parker?

Lance, call your friend ask her about me, if she WAS at SGS then she would know of me. And yes, Dawson's creek, A Walk to Remember and a few others.


Actually, when Randy and I tangoed I was still living in Wilmington.

I actually haven't spoken to her in a couple months, just wondering if you knew her.

There's almost 2,000 employees at SGS, everything from waiters to bus boys to directors to hairstylists.


I may know of her , I may have talked to her, but when you deal with so many people, it's hard to keep track of people.
The only people that EVERYONE knows are the filmers, directories, Best Boys and Gaffers, because without them, there is nothing.

She was a script supervisor, so you should most likely know her...I know she did some writing for the "Wasteland" tv series too.

Oki smarty, I'll explain you something you dont know...

If you are in a dark room, and send the flashlight ( that I taped with black tape to be sure it wouldnt spray on me) toward the camera you dont see the rest of the body, the light was too soft to show my body. In fact, I should show the rest of the pics to proove you my point...

what, thats large? its a flashlight, not a match. I also tried with a glow stick but it was not enough light.

"But I want to explain how I did it, it was not edited in photoshop...First, it was a 10 second exposure on a digital camera. I hold the pose, and the camera take the picture with the flash. There is 9 seconds left, so I start writting the letters in the air, with a small flashlight, in an completly dark room. The light is so soft that we dont see the ghost of my arm or body moving.So, the camera took both me and the light in the same time. its pretty simple but needs lots of tryings... "

:thumbsup

here are the failed attempts.

I am so pissed! I spent 2 hours on that challenge, and there is still people to shit on my work. Yes I am a graphic deisgner, and the only thing it helped me with, is the creativity to find a good ARTISTIC idea.

Thanks to everybody who liked it, and especially to the photographers...

Loved the picture and I'm going to have to try this trick sometime cause I've done something like this before by accident in a dark room but this could be a cool idea to try

My hat goes off to you and your photographer Misty! Awesome idea for this contest and you will get my vote when I get around to voting :thumbsup

Thanks for the out takes Misty.
