obi-wan-yj 0 Posted July 3, 2008 OK, so how do you classify a photo like this? I'll try "children." The blur on the right is my then-5-yr-old daughter. This was an impromptu experiment at last year's Independence Day party, merely capturing the moment without telling the kids do do anything in particular other than "wave your arms around." I bought a whole bunch more colored sparklers this year specifically for photography, and plan to experiment a lot more in the coming weeks. What do you think about this? Link to comment
cmitchell 2 Posted July 4, 2008 I like the subject matter. I think it would have been better without the stuff in the background, it takes away from the light of the sparklers. Nice though, and interesting. Definitely worth playing around with some more. Link to comment
obi-wan-yj 0 Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah, I agree. Hard to do that without staging a special photo session, though. Maybe if I'd used a smaller aperture and lower ISO, then used a flash to illuminate the kids, it would have darkened the houses a bit. This year's sparkler photos (yet to be posted on PN) have darker backgrounds, but they're still visible. Link to comment
