Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On F j, Y

Photo Challenge 2017 Week 16: Landscape – Nighttime

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On F j, Y

For this weeks challenge I chose a photo from vacation when I set my camera up to take a 30 second exposure photo. Originally I was out taking photos to capture a star trail, but it didn't end up working because the clouds I couldn't see when I set up my camera. Even though the star trail didn't work out I still got some amazing photos. Read more [...]

For this weeks photo challenge I’ve chosen Dance. My cousin is a dancer, so while we were taking photos with glow sticks she did some dance moves.

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On F j, Y

For this weeks photo challenge I chose Fun. My cousin and I have gone out and taken some photos on a couple of different nights here with glow sticks and sparklers, which have been a lot of fun. We’ve been trying different things that I’ve wanted to try and then we’ve come up with ideas on the spot. We’re still going to go out and try different things before we both leave the cottage.

Photo Challenge 2017 Week 11: Long Exposure – Fireworks

Posted by Elizabeth Merritt On F j, Y

For this weeks photo challenge I chose fireworks because of having more than one opportunity to take some photos with the Calgary Stampede having them every night.

The first night it was a bit cloudy, so the pictures had clouds in the background, but when I went another time it was a clear sky and the pictures turned out better.
