being experimental is a rewarding thing,Shane ;-)
i don't ride a bike myself but i've always thought they offer more opportunities for creative long exposures than cars do.
be happy and keep shooting!

Hi Kostas,
As promised here is the shot I took using a bike in 1996 for an advertising project I did in college. The tripod is sellotaped the the cross bar!
Rgds,

Hi Kostas,
I took a shot like this some years ago but used a bike instead of a car! I scanned it to show you but keep forgetting to bring it with me to upload. As soon as I do you will see the original idea, but I still think your shot is one of the best examples I have seen because the light trails from a single point in the distance.
Thanks for the comment,
Shane

i remember you wrote about trying a shot like this,Shane ;-)
the light trails are great and the composition good enough concerning the limitations of camera placement. i dont know if you have found this type of shooting interesting enough to do more,but your photo is a nice first effort anyway. i'm sure i would get more enthusiastic with the long exposure effect if i hadn't a portfolio full of similar pictures already ;-)
regards,
kostas

Shane, I can relate to your issues! Converting beautiful transparencies into attractive digital images isn't as easy as we might hope. I would like to have a go with a high-end scanner one day and see just what's possible but in the meantime I guess we're stuck with frustration but balanced with the joy of the lightbox.

Thanks for the comment Barry - the shot you see is a lot like your recent 6x7 work: better to see in the "flesh" than on a screen. There is detail like you described on the neg - when I scanned it, the resultant image was very soft. So I sharpened it in 2 seperate programs - Nikon 4 (worth it for its sharpening ability alone) and a little in PS. However the image started to break down, so what you see here is as close as I could get to satisfataction digital files eh! As for the exposure - well the lens will stop down to f22, but I went for f16 because I only got one shot at it so I stayed away from the extreme.
The strange thing about this image is I was looking forward to using film again - but the results were disappointing - especially from the colour perspective. All of a sudden digital tweaking has gone from a muck-a-bout to a crutch!

Pretty dazzling! I really like the swirling colours. A slightly shorter exposure or stopping down to f/22 (if that's poss with an OM1) might have differentiated the individual swirls more.

Good. Good. Good. Now do it again, and try get more colour in the bottom half. The mirror is a nice picture on its own. Larry
