Was out this afternoon and decided to stay out in the Glades for some more star shots. I was in the water.......about ankle deep.....when this guy came by to pay me a visit......my first attempts with the flashlight to paint him.....came out blurry.....some are kind of spooky because i have him moving. Before I got one I really liked.......he got bored with me and left. I did a bunch more without him........even a 1 hour trail one.....just before packing up around midnight......he came back. As I re-positioned my camera......I decided to go back to the car and get my flash......to eliminate his movement......as I came back in the dark.....I put my headlamp on and found him 2 feet from my tripod and my leg. Needless to say......I waited for him to back off to 5 feet.......before I got off 2 30 second images. This was my favorite....because i got the lighting the way I wanted.
Canon Mark 3 with the 17-40mm lens at 17mm for 30 seconds at f4 and ISO 6400. All mounted on tripod.....partially in the lake with bubble level and gator painted with 1 burst of flash.......rest of scene painted with headlamp. Noise Ninja applied in PP.
What a night!
