Some Lightning Experiments


Some Lightning experiments this summer...
Not the best... but, hours & hours of trying... and killing my batteries... I think after the 5th storm, I was out of energy from trying...

In some of the frames you can see what appears to be some type of luminescent materials.
At first, I thought it was a side-effect of the filters in combination with the electronic components & programming of the camera... Perhaps a side effect of the lens, or the inner workings of the DSLR which work VERY different than analogue, and use it's own internal calculated "algorithms" to filter what the image SHOULD look like.

But, my daughter kept find these rocks that were covered in a GREEN algae-like substance, and kept showing it to me. I was like: Uh-huh, that's nice... it's just some algae with some worm-like organism on it...

But, the things I'm picking up on the equipment SEEM to be showing THROUGH the water, form BENEATH it, and being refracted but the waves.

I was using a UV filter (one of several which I have) with a star cross-hair filter beneath that. So, I thought well it MUST be an optical effect of THAT, right?

But, the phenomena don't occur in ALL the photos, and ONLY in THAT spot.

Also the green glow shows no signs of the STAR effects on them like the glistening of the water ripple highlights.

I HAVE also heard of a type of algae or plankton that use bio-luminescence that can cause the beach to glow at some times of the year. I just never heard of it this far North.

So... is it bio material?

Or, is it a mechanical effect?

What The Blizzard Looked like From Inside The Building!

OK, last Snow blog.... I think...


Here's what the snow looked like from the inside, looking out.



Still haven't been able to afford to replace these windows/doors yet....

They leak....





The snow splatter on the screen, frozen stuck.... 





The view from the front lobby, snowed-in a bit:












And, the view from the back exit. It's snowed in so bad, you can't even walk outside.

Clear Evening at Logan Square Swan Fountain

These are the photos which I took during full-on night. It got chilly (to me anyways, I'm used to the heat already but we got an slight arctic jet stream cold front that swept in on Sunday).

Many of these I shot on various exposures, in many different apatures. My main focous was to experiment with "Tv", but I also used Manual, "Landscape", Low Level Light, and I even experimented with "Sport" for blurs...

Since my battery is pretty worn-out, barely hold a charge, and a new one is in the mail as I write this, I had to switch off my automatic focus, and focous manually, because the low battery confused the electronic components of the camera. I also realized I had the stableizer off on my lens component. So, I switched it on, which cleared up much of my problems, which could still allow the camera to auto focus. Altho' I often times hate auto focus. At night, it's difficult to manually focus.
