Location

astoria Middle school coverd play ground I wanted a place that was almost pich black my friend Rick who is also the guy in the photo by the way tould me that he knew the perfect place so when it got dark I flowed my mischievous friend to the middle schools coverd play ground and said yes this is the place this is exactly what I was looking for.

Time

late night not sour what time

Lighting

Like I said I wanted darkness I wanted to make the light of the glow sticks to be the star of the shot not the humans manipulating them if we ended up in the shot I wanted us to be like a ghost or a shadow

Equipment

cannon power shotSX20IS a tripod I found at Good will for 5 bucks one leg is held together with a half a roll of duck tape but still works like a champ a bag full of dollar store glow sicks iphone flashlight

Inspiration

I was watching photography videos on youtube when i came across a video by cooph photography named 7 funky photopraphy tips it showed several techniques that featured long expousure so i wanted to try to see what I could do with the technique

Editing

not much really this shot was taken before I knew that RAW edits better than jpig so I putt it in my editing software and tryed to clean it up as best I could

In my camera bag

cannon SL1 18-55mm zoom lens with macro 3to5 dollars worth of losing scratch off tickets antacid chewables encase I eat something too spicy loose change I naver counted I could be sitting on retirement and not even know it air because that stuff is everywhere and you cant avoid it lens cleaner pads

Feedback

grab a friend a bag of glow sticks camera and tripod and have fun its exactly what we did because the randomness is part of the magic
