Photography post 17: Banging heads and mock metal

While hanging out with some friends downtown, there was a few minutes of rocking out. Two of the people (non including me) started headbanging and mock metal screams while playing the guitar. This was a wonderful shot with the hair bouncing everywhere and bodies moving, I would have used a fast shutter speed to capture each movement in one shot, and a slower shutter speed to capture the movement in another. \m/

Photography post 16: Mud fight waiting to happen

While down by the river in Dummerston, a bunch of us were hanging out by the murky water. More often than once, there were threats of a mud fight resulting in one of us chasing each other with a hand full of mud. At one point, someone was trying to get someone in the water by threatening to throw mud at them and a chase broke out. It was quite hilarious in the moment of shirtless teenagers circling each other as though they were in a drawl. During the action, I would have used a fast shutter speed to capture each movement and a high aperture to focus.

Photography post 15: Night time lands

While at a beautiful large house this weekend for Jade's sweet 16, there was many opportunities to capture night time photography. The house looked out over a vast landscape of trees and hills and a few houses. By using using a long exposure around 20 seconds, I could have caught the detail of the trees but not too much light off the horizon. But at the time I went in the hot tub instead. :3

Photography post 14: Rocking Guitarists

Last weekend Jade and I went to see The Snaz and The Lost Cost preform there music together. With a combination of Led Zeppelin and their own songs, the musicians  rocked the crowd. During this head banging event I wish I had my camera to catch the swinging hair of the guitarists and fast fingers on the neck of the guitars. I would have used a fast shutter speed for some shots to freeze the movement and a slower shutter speed for some pictures to catch the motion. Because of the light in the room, I would use a wide aperture and would have brought along my attachable flash to catch the action.

Photography post 13: The Elusive Fox

Today I again saw the fox that resides in the woods behind my house. Of course it was gone when I finally had my camera out and I missed the shot. Due to it's fast pace across the hill, I would have used a fast shutter speed to catch the detail of it's coloring, but slow enough that there would be some motion blur in the legs. I would also use a higher aperture so that the fox was in focus and the background would be blurred and not distracting. :3
