A play on light

The Image Posted to day at Posterous is a night time shot with a little extra going on. There is a car in the picture, but you just see the taillights as they slice through the top third of the Image. The night time setting on the camera allows for the shutter to stay open much longer than normal. You time the shot to include the car as it passes you. The length of time the car is in the shot is not enough for the car to be picked up, but the red stop lights are plenty bright enough to register, and as the car moves down the road, it leaves those red streaks you see.

Helicopter Lights

Now the Helicopter has moved across the Night sky and is seen over the Hospital, the large building in the Photo.

I apologize for not posting for a while. Life had taken control again, but seems to have lightened up some what for right now. Seems that for the first time since I started this blog, I actually have a wealth of photos stored up. I'd much rather it be this way than having to rely on the Archives to get me by.

Night Sky 2

Something interesting took place with this next series of Night time images. Very far to the right side just below one of the Power Lines you will see some red light. That is a helicopter as it is entering into these next few shots. The length of the red light is the length of the copter's flight between when the camera first opened up to take the image and when it closed.

Night Sky

Looking out on to north Bakersfield from what I call the Small Bluffs. I spent a lot of time on these bluffs growing up. I hadn't been to this spot in a long time, and not sure I had ever been there before at night.

Windows at night

This is the last night shot in this series. This is the front again of the Cleaners in East Bakersfield.

Also, that storage problem on my computer I had referred to has been fixed big time. Purchased a 2 terrabyte external Hard drive, so maybe about 2020 I shall be complaining again about storage, but I doubt it.

Another Night shot at the cleaners in East Bakersfield/

Night still in the East side

Bakersfield. This is the front of a Laundry service. This was the Inspiration to start all these night shots. I saw this one time as I drove by in the Dark. Worked out pretty good I think.

The green is coming from the light and Is seen by the camera, but not the naked Eye.

Another Night Shot

Of East Bakersfield.

Another East Side Photo

This was taken just down the street from the Previous one. This is of a bar that was being rather loud as I was taking these images. The music loud and the patrons were easily heard trying to yell over the music. I was probably about a block away from the bar. I couldn't understand them, just that they were trying to out do the music. Must have been pretty crazy inside the bar.

East Bakersfield at night

Just east of Union Ave. It was trying to rain on me and I had to rush the shot a bit. I believe the red flare at the end of the street is a car's brake light. There wasn't anything there glowing like that when I took the shot.

Breaking Tradition ...

These are from my archives from a mountain trip about 2 years ago.

Northeast Bakersfield

Looking towards downtown (west) from alongside Hiway 178.

Albertsons Parking Lot

I am discovering that my camera has a good strong point with late evening and early night shots.

Beads on a stool

A still life Image I created while setting up the Christmas tree.

An Image from Christamas

It is more of an artistic representation, meaning that yes, its blurry and out of focus, but I like the colors. We actually have a Fake Christmas tree that rotates and that is what gives the effect.

Another Sheriff's car

Luckily, These guys don't have to come to my neighborhood nearly as often as they used to.

Church at Night

One More night time Image of a Church.

Another Tree at Night

Another Night Time Image (Duh). Hope you enjoy it.

An Amazing Shot

This is a great Image of Ted Williams. I got this from Upper Deck, A baseball card manufacturer, Quite a few years ago. It is a small Poster sized Image which I am glad I own in many regards.
