Comments on: Bombs over flowers http://www.joereifer.com/words/2007/12/13/bombs-over-flowers/ Ramblings about night photography, desert ruins, 360 panoramas, and artistic inspiration Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:47:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: joe http://www.joereifer.com/words/2007/12/13/bombs-over-flowers/comment-page-1/#comment-549 joe Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:44:35 +0000 http://www.joereifer.com/words/?p=376#comment-549 Hi Mark - Getting a night look with slightly underexposed slide film is much easier than digital. The post-processing strategy for digital night photography that's worked best for me is to shoot the same scene with film and digital, and then use the film as a reference. After doing this procedure a few times, digital night work becomes easier to tone appropriately. I'm planning to drum scan this image and print it after the holidays -- a print swap would be great -- I just have to ask, is your rotting "Asparagus #2" a post-modern answer to Edward Weston? Cheers, Joe Hi Mark -

Walsh's picture of the same locale, this one much more closely portrays what I know 'night' to be. I appreciate that this picture seems more 'real' even though the jet still has an element of the surreal/alien about it. I could ramble on about the vapor trails, (I assume) star trails and other picture elements but I'd rather just ask if you'd be interested in a picture swap?
