smoke

i've been up all night playing with some incense (fantasy garden black magic). my apartment's smelling a bit spicy, but man i'm happy with what i got. to do these i set up a 5-8 second exposure then, when the smoke looked good i flashed from the side with an old vivitar 2600-d.

traffic loops

so i've taken this longer exposure idea, shot some traffic and made a handful of animated loops. i showed them to a client and got an order big enough to keep me busy for a month. thanks t.

a couple of these were used in a promo video for the new Westin Hotel in Montreal (at 0:23).
(i shot them in Toronto.)

daytime long exposures

i love using longer exposures as a composition tool in daytime shots. they give the images an element of depth by adding a layer of movement to the scene (these are roughly 4-6 seconds). i really like the effect, you'll probably see more in the future..
