View Full Version : CH 27 Humungus
Found a single small red LED (light emitting diode) at 2am. Amazing the intensity of their output.

Excellent! Really nice shot, H. You wearing a thong? :yikes Since you don't want a shallow depth of field, and the hands are a bit soft, maybe shoot with a greater depth of field? Or would you have to hold still for too long? Is it too bright across the shoulders?

I wear surf shorts or nothing mate !

Hey waxamillion..sorry it was 3 am when i read your reply ..off to work early.
Its probably a lot of wrong things mate. I have little idea about what i do with the camera. Some stuff turns out ok & some does not.
Re Depth of field..I did set the f stop up much higher but it aint easy holding that still for a camera in that faint light.
I dont know if you are aware of LED's but they are like a torch (flashlight)..very strong direct light. I suppose you could mask it with red cellophane but then the exposure woould run too long.
A certain woman whom lives in my flat walked past ..looked at it for a second & said " Wow...so when did you run into Shrek "

I hope she is OK now. I am not sure weather you are talking about the little torches with big beam. I had no idea they could be strong enough to take a pic with.
Love the shot. Very creative thinking

This is what made all the light PC..just one tiny electrical device...its about 5mm (1/5 inch) in dia & maybe 8mm (1/3 inch) long. They use almost no power.

Very cool! The directional nature of the light coming from the point-source of the LED really helps define a very strong shadow. I'm impressed.
Thanks guys..just wish i had some of mgound's fog.

you look even scarier with a shaved head!
photo is cool. I agree with Waxy though, if there is anything you could do to sharpen it up a bit, I think it'd hit a bit harder.

I started shaving it in '95 because a large company i was working for wanted me to move into a section where i had to deal directly with the public (which i didnt want to do). I shaved it the morning of the meeting & when i walked in...they told me it suited me & put me in that section anyway :scratch .
I fooled with sharpening Doc but to be truthfull i sort of like it a bit fuzzy...i wanted that 11 000 volt acid ..2am look.
If you want ..please feel welcome to sharpen it & show me because when i do use the sharpen tool i get a lot of noise.

I was going to PS the ears winger ..but thought...nup thats the shadow, leave it be. Funny thing is that i dont have big ears at all but the shadow says different :lol3
I think the camera focused on the floor in front of me thus the shadow was sharp & i got a bit fuzzy but i decided i liked it that way..sort of like an electrical frequency running over me...thats how i was feeling at the time. That & the fact that im not going to get that wasted & start photographing at 2am for at least another week mate !

For that, you could maybe set up that LED in the shower?

GaryGood idea...still i would have to wait til the dead of winter as we only get about a month of cold weather mornings here (well..cold as in low 50's f)
In summer here you turn the cold water on in the shower & wait til the water thats heated up in the pipes from the day to get out then get in it.
