This is my dear friend Florence and the effect you see was produced by camera motion.  I did some slight color correction work.

For more information about my luxagraphic movement please read this manifesto.

This unmanipulated photograph (0642) was shot in front of the Five Point (bar) near lower Queen Anne on 11 October 2006.

I have cropped it slightly and made a small adjustment to the contrast (+10) and brightness (-10).  No other post-processing work has been done.

Let me know if you have any questions.  I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions.

More to this Shot Glass than Meets the Rye

Monday, May 24th, 2010

I have done several luxagraphic series where, in addition to camera motion, I have also interposed objects between the subject(s) and the lens.  Here I present a collection of nine such shots where the interposed object is a shot glass.  You could argue that the shot glass is then acting as a secondary lens or a kind of filter.  The shot glass itself may or may not be in motion as it is hand-held during the process.

I suppose I’ll start off with some of the more mundane creations and work into the more complex and stunning.  Please keep in mind that these are all pure luxagraphia.  Camera motion (and the interposed shot glass) is all that is used to create these photographs.  These are not manipulated and there has been no post-processing work done (all exceptions noted).

Alright.  There you have a nice collection of related photographs.  I hope you enjoy viewing them.  I know I enjoy shooting them (in spite of the odd looks I get from people as I’m doing it.)  Your thoughts are always welcomed in the comments.  Thanks for taking the time to look over my work.

No post-processing work.  This unmanipulated photograph (2813) was shot on 4 July 2007 on Lake Union.  It was shot under the same conditions as yesterday’s series, but this photograph uses more luxagraphic motion to further exploit the time axis.

Ultimately, what you see is the product of lights reflected on water and time.

Thanks for taking an interest.

This series of unmanipulated photographs (2695) was shot while on my friend’s boat (moored near China Harbor) on 4 July 2007.  No post-processing work.  Some slight motion due to my being on a boat and then of course the waves.

Thanks for taking a look.
