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.

these shots, i love.

..the ones that seem to come out of nowhere, pop themselves into your camera and basically make the whole set. i was in ottawa, shooting long exposure traffic stills for a video. when i got back to the studio, i looked through the photos and found this one (#3).
