davee123 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I just got a bunch more Glow-In-The-Dark 1x1 round plates, and got inspired to do some prolonged exposure shots with them, appropriately themed for the season! DaveE Quote
Tereglith Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 That's awesome! Although it looks a bit like they're walking through yummy Chernobyl Jell-o... Quote
RileyC Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Wow thats a really cool shot and I would like to see more of them with the glow in the dark pieces Quote
prateek Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Great job! How long did you have to expose those pieces to light for? Quote
davee123 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Great job! How long did you have to expose those pieces to light for? I put a lamp over them for a few minutes, then turned everything off and had a 30-second exposure for the camera. Unfortunately, the 1x1 rounds are the old-style glow-in-the-dark color which isn't quite as bright as the newer ones. The new variety is MUCH brighter when seen in prolonged exposure shots, but the shapes of the elements that I have are a little less generic (and far fewer in quantity), so I couldn't use the brighter ones. I've tried the same effect before with a pirate ship crewed by skeletons, floating on a sea of glowing elements, but it didn't turn out very clearly. Now that I've got more, maybe I'll have to retry some other shots... It makes for a nice eerie effect, though. DaveE Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 I missed this thread. As a big fan of Halloween and "all things spooky", I like the skellies. Reminds me of one of the DVD covers for the movie, The Fog. Happy Belated Halloween! Quote
