Duplo's blog

- Just another blog on the internet -

At the semetery

, , , , , , ,

Hi All,

Well I think I will use this Duploworld update to share two photos that I promised Richard to post.

Well first of all we came by the semetery by accidence and not attending a funeral. and well the photos tells the story better than I can in words.

Scary? odd? stupid? disrespectful? or decent?
Well hard to tell but at least they different from the usual ones:)

At the semetery #1


At the semetery #2


For those interested, it was an unusual long exposure around 200 seconds, some of the foregrouond light is from the candles around the graves and some is from low power bursts with an off camera flashgun from outside the frame to add that little extra light in the right places. 6 bursts per photo I think.

Have a wonderful weekend and do take care:)

Magical.

That cemetery-experiment is very intriguing, actually.

Food for the imagination - plus good and creative use of the technical possibilities available.

Congrats.

omg, that is amazing.

i always liked visiting semetaries. i like the statues that have there. it's a kind of art too. i dont think it's scary, but different.

Thank you Allan:happy:

It actually was, quite interesting being there. got me think of a few new ideas to try out a little later on.
I have begun using my flashguns a lot more than I did before, they are useful in a number of ways I would have never imagined.

Thank you Bea:happy:
I will not say that I have always liked visiting semeteries, but I like the mood and feel often present in semeteries.

:eyes: ... so many cruxes I've never seen. Very impressive with all the candles.

Ms. Duplo kneeled down without moving for 200 seconds?

:faint:

:D :D

Thomas Bojer Eltorp 17. October 2007, 04:17

Yeah she is such a patient lady.
But then again she has been able to put up with me for a good five years, so she must be patient:D

hungryghost 17. October 2007, 04:54

heh heh heh you said it, Mr. Duplo...not me :whistle: :D

Thomas Bojer Eltorp 19. October 2007, 00:28

Yes but I could feel you thinking it:D:D

Thanks for posting these Duplo, sorry it took so long for me to come round and see them.
I don't see how they could be considered disrespectful. They are beautiful:up:
I would love to see one lit only by the aurora

Thomas Bojer Eltorp 7. November 2007, 03:29

Thank you Richard:happy:

I think they came out pretty decent.

I do not have such a photo unfortunately, might return there soon though, we hae had snow now and I think it would make for an even more impressive scenerey:)

Sprogger McSprog 7. November 2007, 03:32

You certainly wouldnt need as long an exposure with all that snow:D

Thomas Bojer Eltorp 7. November 2007, 03:34

Another upside I guess:D
