"P52-Favorites"

I chose to share this picture because it is so cool and what other category would it fit under?  I guess maybe Christmas Lights Gone Wild?  LOL.  Anyway, this is one of my favorite lessons that I help with during the year.  Our wonderful art teacher (mentioned during my still life post) Florie Barnett does experimental photography with our students at the end of the school year, I provided the dark space and was able to take some pictures while the kids were taking photos as well.  So how was it taken?  Two kids are are turning a strand of Christmas Lights they alter the pattern and move as they wish.  I am set up with my camera on the tripod, with a slow shutter.  I loved this photo because of all the vibrant colors.  The kids are always so excited to have cameras to use and it so cool to see their results.  I got lots of questions about my set up as well and was able to share.

  3. Wonderful colors. That is great to get cameras into the hands of kids. There should be more programs that do that.
