Long exposure photography rocks!

I love LEP! I took a lot tonight, but since my internet is being a pain and the pics are so large, I only got around to uploading this one. I hope you enjoy, and as always, constructive criticism is welcome :)

Long exposure of El Camino Road for 30 seconds.

You can do LEP with a digital camera? I'm sorry, but I just don't think it's the same as old fashion dark room photography. Doing LEP in the darkroom is ten times more fun, especially when I'm doing black and white film. What's so cool about LEP is that it can make virtually anything moving in a picture disappear into a blur in color, or into nothing in black and white. There's a photograph from when photography was just being invented that was taken by the man who stole the original ideas from the true inventor (Luis Daguerre is who I'm talking about who stole this) that shows the streets outside his window, he exposed it for a good period of time and came back to see a picture had developed. The busy streets appeared empty except for the picture of a man getting his shoe shined (Because that was a job you had to sit still for).

Of course, back then, you had to expose pictures for long periods of time just to get them to develop. That's why when they started to do portraits they had to put peoples heads in really creepy metal devices so you wouldn't move. Something that seems an artistic type now was the norm back in those days!

I'll end my rant of LEP now. I know a lot about photography :P But yes. That's cool! Nice picture. :D

Lexi, of course nothing's the same as it used to be. We might never see the golden ages of film again, teenagers are forever going to whore and in the digital world you're going to find a few limitations.

I think it's a tad overexposed for my liking but each to their own...

I would shrink them and upload smaller versions... put 'em all up! The quickest way is probably automator, duplicate then drag and drop into there and scale to a smaller res. Big batch of jpegs done in seconds.
