Night Juggler

 

Last night my daughter, her fiance and I

went out and experimented photographing with glow sticks. 

 We just started to get the hang of things...

here are some pointers:

1. Use more than one glow stick in your hand - it is brighter.
2. Blue glow sticks are weak, and don't light up much.
3. Dress in black as much as possible.
4. Remember a flashlight, tripod, and bug spray.
5. Use a slow steady movement or the light is jerky,' - we are still working on that one.
6. Use the bulb setting on the camera.  My settings were ISO 100, F5.6 to 8, bulb

It was fun!

The Photographer's Ephemeris

I just found this awesome tool for photographers.  

And better yet, you can download it for free to your desktop!  

It is called The Photographer's Ephemeris, 

and it tells you just about everything you need to know about natural light for every day of the year.  

Plug in a location and you will find the time of sun and moon rise and sun and moon set and 

where locationally each will rise and set.

It tells you how much of the moon is illuminated.

Or say you are on vacation and you want to know when the sun will rise or set over the mountains...

or perhaps behind the lake?

This is your place!

And they have an online tutorial here.

And...you can get an iphone app for it...

now if only I had an iphone.

Is this cool or what?
