Here you are:
Hi there. I was outside the other day, and while fiddling with the camera discovered long-exposure photography:
Long-exposure photography or time-exposure photography
involves using a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the stationary
elements of images while blurring, smearing, or obscuring the moving elements.
The paths of moving light sources become clearly visible.
Mind you, I have no idea how to actually take a real long exposure picture. The closest I've come to is some simple images like this:
And practicing resulted in these:
As you can tell, I'm not very good. Here is what long exposure truly should look like:
This was a 45 MINUTE exposure (which I have yet to figure out how to do honestly.)
This next image (taken by yours truly) was roughly a 30 SECOND exposure:
Now according to the definition of long exposure photography, it states that moving lights would become clearly visible. Which it does in the star image. And in the above image, my flash reflected off my mirror from down the hall, and it appeared in the image. A lot of long exposure photography is taken of sparklers, amusement park rides, and traffic. All of which I hope to do this summer. My parents picked up sparklers a couple of weeks back for my little brothers, but I might take a couple ;)
Well, one last final image for you guys:

Photography
Besides a rare amount of portrait photography, I spend most of my photography working on nature. I love flowers, and I love photography. Combine the two and you get this:
I recently emailed a couple of my local photographers (whom I have never met) and am sad to say, they have not responded. Of course, June/summer is a very big season for photographers. And while I understand that, I don't think the photographers understand just how much I want to work with them. I don't care if I'm not earning any money, the experience would just be great, thank you very much. Either way, I plan to stop by one of the photographers studio, sometime soon, and we'll see where that takes me. Well, I'll see, you probably won't.
Till tomorrow,

So it begins
For those of you concerned, I am
C, or Olive, or Photo, or whatever you’d like to call me. And for those of you
completely and utterly concerned, here is some minor details about myself:
I am a writer. So guess what that
means? Long posts for the days I’m inspired, and short posts for the days I
can’t handle the words writer, writing, novel, and blog post due
today. Don’t expect much for another week or so. June holds more than
summer!
I am a photographer. So that means
that you’ll see more pictures than you’d probably like, and I’ll probably
torture you all with photography ideas and tips. Don’t worry, it’ll only happen
every other post.
I am a reader. So I guess you’ll
get a lot of rambles on how much I hate an author for destroying a book (or
books) and I guess that’s sort of a normal blog post type thingy, so no biggie
there.
I suppose that is about it for
now.
Till Tomorrow,
C
