2nd Avenue, 75 SL APO

These are all taken on the night streets of NYC in the rain with long exposures and camera movement, no manipulation in post other than dodge/burn in Lightroom, contrast and saturation tweaks. Sometimes I might run the pictures through DXO FilmPack 7 for a more film like look (such as it is)

Vibrant ICM's, T. I used to wonder about the logic of using $20K (AUD) Leica gear, and those wonderful lenses to get creative with out of focus bokeh,  slo mow - long exposures and rapid ICM abstractions like yours T. The images we create are indeed remote extensions of ourselves, our associations of psyche and other supposed subconscious reflections. Like the Rorschach Inkblot in reverse we can enter into our inner world. No, but seriously, I tend to create very dark, vignetted images with enigmatic subjects when I am a bit depressed. I feel better after expressing myself visually like that. Photographically though it's great to enlist random processes and to use light in unexpected ways. It's fantastic to see the different outcomes. I am enjoying my Night Trains and Train Art series because of that random "out of control" element of capturing something. In the end one becomes very familiar with what the camera can do, out on that envelope.  Invigorating stuff. Ken

Thx Ken. Interesting thoughts to be sure.

I also don’t really worry about using expensive gear to produce images that do not, on first glance, take advantage of all their capabilities. But I think that has a lot to do with what the intent of the photographs are, the process, and using the capabilities of these tools to achieve my goals. What you and I are doing in both of these photographic series may appear to be somewhat random or out of our control to someone just looking at the pictures, but we both know that a lot goes into setting up one of these shots and getting the end result. It sometimes takes a lot of work to end up with a picture that looks like it took no work at all 😂.

I am experimenting with shutter speeds, with ISO, physical movement, length of exposure on specific areas of the frame, color science…..how all these things affect the end composition. And the more I work at it the more I realize I can have a predictable effect on the outcome, which is where we cross the line from taking a picture to making a picture. Which to me is everything.

I’m also exploring how these images look when placed next to the portraits that I do, and surprisingly it’s working in a really interesting way. The colors and shapes and movement of the light painting can really complement the right portrait when placed side-by-side. 
 

All this to say in a very long-winded way that these kind of explorations are healthy because they open up new avenues of creativity & help us learn lessons which can be applied to our more traditional photographic endeavors. Plus….its fun!!!
