smoke composites

i composited some of those smoke images and got these. easy. all you do is duplicate the image, flip or rotate the layer over the original, flatten, levels, done.

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..

light painting experiments

sometimes i get bored with my own stuff (not that there's even a lot of it yet) and i need to shake things up. so last weekend i was alone in the studio with, okay, plenty of work to do but sometimes you just need a break. so i grabbed a camera, turned out the lights and went looking for LEDs to shake it at. here's some of what i got.
