Default Light as a Subject



What it is: A Fiber Optic night light from the Dollar Store
What I used: Olympus E-510, 14-42mm @ 29mm, Hoya +1, +2, +4 Diopter Macro Filters
What Settings: ISO 100, F22 @ 2 Seconds for Exposure Time
Setup: Camera on one tripod, nightlight on another tripod (secured with my wife's hair tie)

I shot this subject from many different camera angles and many different positions for the light. I chose the this composition as my favorite because of the sense of movement and life (from a bigbang perspective) that was portrayed. The image was processes in lightroom to enhance the black levels, some sharpness and contrast, which my camera lacks natively.

It's amazing how sometimes the simplest set-ups result in the most spectacular images. Well done, sir. This is a great shot. I think the Big Bang imagery is spot on.

Default Light is a great subject.

I like the red shot a lot. Very cool. You can use all kinds of light and then add a lil long exposure and BAM...
