Flashing Lights

   Last weekend Hope and I tried using an external flash with color films. We used really slow shutter speeds ranging from 8-25 seconds. Because the shutter speed was so slow, we were both able to get into the picture. However, we found that if the subject of the photo flashed the flash, then they appeared washed out. To alleviate this problem, we usually just had one person in the picture, and the other in charge of the flash. Towards the end of our shoot we took out some glow sticks and made cool stripes of color!

Our first attempt


It was very difficult to focus the camera due to the fact it was pitch black outside.




















We made the color going across the picture by swinging a glow stick in front of the camera for the last several seconds of the exposure.
