Chasing the light

in #photography5 years ago


In the end I couldn’t tell whether the button of camera was frozen or my fingers turned into icicles. Worth it though? Orange tabby cat kept me company cuddling around my ankles.

Maybe this post was meant to be something light. Describing the wonderful strangeness walking by the pier in the darkness where I unexpectedly spotted a spaceship hiding in plain sight. Or, maybe it was meant to be about experimenting with nighttime photography and failing miserably some. Who knows, maybe it actually was a story about the tabby cat who always hangs around there at night and only at the one of the Halloween turns into a bat.

Well actually it is more closer to drawing blank. Finding lack of meaning and constantly holding on every bit of light if there is any. Some may call it a weird funk. Hopefully passing soon or shaken off like cobwebs. I am pretty sure it’s the seasonal depression of doomsday, pain and suffering amplified by loneliness, false feelings, strange place and a new start. Got to be. Right?

Love the orange, good work

Thank you @basejumper! Love your username btw :)

I want it more to be a story about spaceship but this one's good also :) One day that spaceship will fill that blank :P

Maybe next time I will talk a bit more about spaceships or rockets and moon, haha. Thank you for stopping by Mr. Spacely! Really appreciate it! :)

It takes time to experiment with long exposure stuff. What you want to do is when you are nice and warm at home, turn off most of the lights and play around with settings to get used to changing them quickly. you will get some really good shots there I think.

Yea, probably being outside in cold and with no tripod didn't help much. It is fun tho to fiddle around with different settings and see how the pictures turn out. Will keep at it.
