Walking home on the second rainy Wednesday afternoon in a row (wanting to take photos) I saw this photograph waiting to happen as the colours from oil make this puddle look like a rainbow. Well, that’s what I thought of anyway.
Painting with Light Experiement
010 October, 2005
So I wanted to do something creative with my day. Mondays are never nice being in college from 9am till after 6pm (it”s too like a real days work). It turned out to be a lovely day and I got out of college in the mood for photography. As I walked home slowly it started to get dark. I took a lot of boring photos of trees in the dusk etc. As I got closer to home all the street lights started to come on and I thought I would take a picture of a traffic light. Well I turned off the flash but had the camera on auto mode. Although things turned out blurred an idea about painting with light came back to me from a project I did last year to do with movement in photography. So for the rest of the walk home I pointed the camera at cars and street lamps and took pictures. Due to it being at night the camera set a long exposure time and I move the camera around in effect painting with the light. From the 120-ish images this is my favourite.
Minimalist Photography

I have been on college projects since the weekend and haven”t had much chance to get out with the camera. I wanted to put something online but none of the graphics work is of a worthy standard as yet. I am basically doing loads of research and developing ideas. So I took a break for five minutes and looked around my room. My dad talked of a photographic competition with the theme of “minimalist” that I mean enter in the New Year. This image above might be something I could enter…well it is an idea which could be developed. I am still unsure about the orange glow.
