abstract photography photo 4

Although there is no pavement in this photo, this is one I took on the side of the road. It is the aftermath of a car crash. It's broken glass from the windshield laying on top of a piece of the car that flown off in the accident. When I saw it I guessed it was maybe part of the hood of the car but it was too mangled and beaten up to tell.

This is a photo I took of the edge of the top of the pavillion in the backyard at my house. I took it while standing on the deck which is a little taller than the pavilion and I took it with a telephoto lens so that the ground below would be totally out of focus.

This is a photo I took a while back of a bush covered in snow. The bush was nothing special but I think it looks beautiful from this perspective. For some reason it makes me think of what the earth would look like if it was black and white and you were looking down at it from outer space.

Silhouette photo

I took this photo at sunset with a shutter speed of 1/400, an aperture of f5, and an ISO of 100. And no, the white line on the top of the photo is not a star trace, it's a vapor trail from an airplane.

Low light photo

For this photo I used an exposure of 85 seconds, an aperture of f11 and ISO 100. Some of the smaller trees aren't in focus because it was windy, but I did my best.

Light Graffiti

I took this photo using a shutter release button and an exposure of about 7 seconds. I stood in front of the camera with the flashlight on my phone and just started drawing words in the air. For this photo I also used f22 and ISO 100.

I wonder if there's any life up there.. (moon trace)

I took this photo with a 30 minute long exposure. Since the stars and the moon rotate a full 15 degrees every hour and there was a lot of ambient light where I took the photo, I used a 30 minute long exposure to keep the sky as dark as possible and to have a good moon trace of 7 1/2 degrees. I also used f22 and ISO 100.
