water drops

This shot was taken at 1/500 of a second with an f stop of 5.6. I used a light with a red filter and it created a very nice effect.

This picture is slightly more exposed then the previous one.
It is of me, pointing at... me.

It was too bright in that room to have a long enough exposer for me to be able to place myself in two different parts of the room. Otherwise fun experiment. 

Light Painting

This picture was shot in RAW format so that I could edit it further.

The only post editing I did to this photo was to turn up my black points almost all the way so that I would get rid of the pattern on my sweater.

Photogram

Old telephone and film
This photogram is of an old phone that I had in my house and a single strip of film.

After 3 tries I found that exposing the light sensitive photo paper for 4 seconds, at a height of 2 feet, with a very small flashlight gave me the best results.
