Light Painting at Tschida
Uploaded: 12/01/17 7:50 PM GMT
Although I used my 8mm fisheye for this photo, I aimed it directly at the horizon along Lake Tschida's shore, in south-central North Dakota, so as to not deform it with an unnatural curve. What I got in return was 167 degrees of the scene in one frame (as opposed to 46 degrees from a 50mm), stretching from the north to the south-southwest. I left the shutter open for 45 seconds, "painting" the tree at the bottom with a red flashlight for no more than one second, and I placed the horizon at the center to show that, here anyway, the sky is as important as what's below it. The tree exhibits a slight blur; that's from a slight intermittent breeze during those 45 seconds (if I waited for perfectly calm nights I'd hardly ever go out). Some might say that tree color constitutes manipulation, except that I did it physically, on-site, with a flashlight, and not in the software. It's the photo my wife and I have decided to use on our Christmas card this year. Hope you like it half as much as we do. [By the way, if you look to the horizon on the far right, then move left, you come to the second light, this one very tiny. Above it is a conical point of black land sticking up... that's Heart Butte.] 12.2-11

Thanks for your vote of encouragement with "Gondola Maker." You should have seen the original, pre-post processing. Nevertheless, I agree that it fits the contest topic and I appreciate you adding the photo to your faves, Nik.

Thanks for your recent comments Nik.
In answer to your recent question: The bridge support cables are hollow rolled metal and were found to be corroding internally several years ago. They now blast warm dry air through them to preserve them from rusting and the trolley cars you see are part of the inspection and maintenance programme. Hey I pleased to have got that of my chest.

Thanks Nick for faving "Peace To All". I appreciate it. I'm glad my style of art appeals to your grandaughters. All my grandchildren are pretty much grown but I still have memories of the childish things I used to do with them like watch cartoons and draw pictures for them. I still remember doing that with my children as well.

Nikoneer... Thank you for your comment on my picture called New Garden. You came up with the same idea I have. I already have the rocks to do exactly what you said. I'm also naming the boat "On the Rocks". I'm also adding fish net to the side of the boat. I bought two life size seagulls and a pelican that will be sitting on pilings. I will be posting other pictures of each additional garden as I create them. I'm working on a design of a rock island that will have a lighthouse with a working light.

Thanks for the comments on my Heron pictures. Its like they say location, location, location. The place I shoot Herons, Pelicans and other fishing birds is up on the bank below Saylorville Dam. I�m probably at least 20 feet above the water so I�m above the birds fishing and flying close to the water. A lot of the birds flying by are at eye level and gives the pictures a different perspective.

Hi Nik, thanks for your concern re the quakes. The scare is over - they were big shakes but at the other end of the country from us. Those in danger of tsunamis acted very quickly. We have a slogan here "If its long and strong - get gone!" and that was acted upon very quickly and very efficiently. There were a few tide surges but nothing major and the warning is now lifted. It was still quite scary though and not a day for beach walking ! Hope you and yours are all well. Lyn
