Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 1:11PM Welcome to Commentator Corner. If you’re a commentator at the Marty Wombacher Show, feel free to send me images, writings, thoughts, photos, whatever. You’re a part of the show and I’m happy to spotlight your creativity.
Grompf is the spotlit Commentator of the day and he has sent in some fantastic and cool photos. Here’s what he has to say about them:
“The action took place during a hot summer night like this one... No way to sleep: I wandered around my home like a poor loner. The moon came up at the same time as an idea.
I walked on the verge of the river, put my tripod on a bank of pebble. Hopefully nobody saw me with my shoes tied up around my neck! Then, a problem for the centering of the picture is what happened for the next shots and I had to build a "bed" with stones for me and my bean-bag (a homemade & cheap bag used to support the camera everywhere) in the water flow. A few seconds later I was lying down there for some other shots but pictures were really bad. It has been "hot and wet photography!” Everything was soaking on me except my camera, and all of this for nothing.
But you can see a few of the good ones here. Colors are not really natural but not Photoshopped. I used a film dedicated to portraits and that's how the colors turn during long nightly exposures.”
Very cool, Grompf! Thanks for these wonderful photos and we all look forward to seeing more!
