St. Paul, MN Photos

One dark morning last week I threw my camera up in the air after clicking the shutter. I have seen photos that were taken that way.  I never had the courage to do it before but I stood near the couch and didn’t toss it too high. Kind of fun and the end result is a surprise, or a broken camera or maybe both.

The day after Halloween

I have been doing some experimenting with lighting.  I am a rookie at photography and most of the stuff I shoot is outside where there is light.  I have been forced to learn something about lighting because of the interior shots that I take. I do alright with them if I take them during the day and use a tripod and a couple of flashes if I need them.

This photo was taken using a LCD flashlight that I attached to a small tripod with a strip of Velcro.  It is kind of harsh but it does light the candy wrapper nicely and I will probably experiment with it some more because I like to experiment and that is the best way to learn.

Lights

This was taken on one of those clod dreary rainy days last week. I must have been feeling dreary. The lights were not on at the time but I was able to turn them on with photo shop elements.
