Water drips…

Having just started at a trade school, to learn to be an electrician, I was arriving one morning, just as the sun was about to rise. I crouched down very low, next to a strip of grass in the parking lot, and aimed my D3200 toward the rising sun, and captured this shot. I don't know that I...

EV13 at ISO 100 is obviously meant for outdoor use, or indoors with a lot of light coming in a window. Somewhat like @wornish, I felt motivated to try to defy this by taking a picture using only artificial indoor illumination. Not so easy, as this turns out to be just enough exposure to get a...

A general bit of advice concerning printers—I have learned that there is a very strong inverse correlation between the initial cost of buying a printer, and the cost of using it. If you buy a cheap inkjet printer, it will use expensive ink cartridges that run out quickly; and if you do very...

Midtown Sacramento, J Street & 24th Street. Three shots, HDRed with Geodesic HDR. ISO 100, ƒ16, exposures of 30 seconds,10 seconds, and 1 second. Stock 18-55mm lens, zoomed at 20mm.

Third entry: Back to the first yard; This was taken a week before a weekly challenge in which I would have wanted to use it, the same yard in which I photographed the inflatable Santa Claus that made my first entry. On a night during that subsequent week, when I went back to photograph this...

Second entry: Since the month is almost over, and it doesn't look likely that I will see any better examples of Christmas kitsch, I guess I'll submit, for my remaining two entries, a few shots that I've produced that I like, but which may not really count as proper kitsch. This was from a...

An interesting Filipino-oriented supermarket facility not far from where I live. There's a supermarket, and a few different restaurants and bakeries. Six different shots, groups of three at each view, HDR processed, and stitched into a single shot, with lots of other bits of assorted...

This is my entry. This yard was lit up tonight. Unfortunately, it appears that some thieves stole some of the decorations that previously were on this tree, probably the same thieves who stole the inflatable Santa Clause that I used as an entry in the “Kitsch” theme for the monthly...

From a house not far from where I live. They've got, on the whole, a fairly impressive display of lights and decorations, but this inflatable Santa Clause would seem to be the definition of “kitsch” as I understand the term. Stock 18-55mm “kit lens” on my D3200. Three shots, 1 second, 2...

This is a magnetron.

I'm wondering about another line of claims that he makes… If you want to take these sort of photos today, you will either need a high speed camera costing tens of thousands of dollars, or a dangerous and expensive air gap flash. These use a high voltage spark to generate the short, bright flash...
