Shadow Dancing



I shot this image at Starfield concert about 2 months ago. A good friend of mine works with the people who manage this band and a few other bands. I was impressed with the music it was better than I thought it would be. I took a bunch of pictures that night but this particular image is one of my favorite images. Most of the images I took show the band and the light show, this image is more artistic so it appeals more to me for that reason. I have titled it Shadow Dancing as it looks like a bunch of shadows dancing and praising God. Well I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do.

Check out my "Image of the Month" category!

I have added a new category list on the blog. I took the idea from a friends blog. I now have a category called "Image of the Month" where you can see my favorite image for each month. If you choose a month from the list you will be directed to the blog from that month which has my favorite image in it. So check it out and let me know what you think, I only have 2 months in the list so far so be patient. This blog will always be a work in progress so continue to check it out. As I find new and interesting things to add to the blog I will write a post letting you know about them.

You didn't think I would let you off that easy, did you? I have to give you something to look at that I think is either cool, beautiful, amazing, intriguing, mesmerizing or well you get the idea. This is a photographers blog so I am obligated by the "Photographers Code of Conduct". I believe if you had a copy of the code, which you don't as it is top secret, you would find it in article 36.8, subset C-II, fpn (fine print note) d. I am pretty sure that is the article for the code my book isn't handy and I am going by memory. All professionally trained photographers are required to memorize the code but few of us remember it all. Enough of that lets get to the subject at hand. The image above is one of my favorite. This image was shot in my dinning room, the flower was a part of an arrangement that we had received for something, I can't remember what. I was just messing around and I put the vase on the floor and turned out the lights and started painting with light. This is one of the results from that session of messing around. I think I just broke another code, a photographer is never to admit that he/she was just messing around when they made a great image. OOPS I hope no other photographers read my blog. If the wrong photographer sees this I could be removed from the photographers guild. This image was shot with a Canon 10d and a 28-135mm IS lens. Focal length 135mm, ISO 1600, SS 1/40th F/5.6 using painting with light technique.
