Light Painting Puzzles


I remember  a "contact sheet" assignment when I took photo classes in college; shoot a scene six photos across and five down (like this one 5x5 below)

It is certainly a challenge, especially shooting in film, to visualize the edges of each frame and to shoot with a distorted perspective. I came across Brian Matthew Hart's work with light writing in digital photography. He shot hundreds of frames and, like puzzle pieces, placed them together in an almost seamless single image. It takes a TON of thought to pull this off:

Pre-Baby Couples Shoot Part II: Pancakes with Pear Sauce

Image
Here we have part two of the day's pre-baby shoot. My friend ("J") and her husband ("A") made a blueberry pancakes when we got back to their home after the walk in the park . "A" works as a professional chef at several locations, as well as a personal chef with Chef Bernard during alternate hours in the week.

One more post of photos to come! www.amyhefterphotography.com

The first one that really caught my eye was published online in the National Geographic Your Shot Daily Dozen on October 1, 2009, and then again in the June 2010 National Geographic magazine.

This year the Blue Angels were the highlight and were flying over the house during performances. I took my father's dog outside and made him pose!" Guess what? This is fake. When enough readers of the magazine saw the photo, the editors at NatGeo asked for proof that the image was real. So Lascelles submitted another shot "the n...

Paris: The Jewish Quarter, Louvre Courtyard and A Phallic Eiffel Tower

Image
Good morning! Bonjour! Today we went to a small cafe in Bastille called  Cafe Truc , which literally means Cafe "Stuff." It was so cutely decorated and we enjoyed a traditional French breakfast here: croissant, pain du chocolat, tea, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. On our way to the Jewish quarter, we passed a museum with the sculpture below. The exhibit was showing all kinds of street sculpture and I recognized this from an article that was shared with me years ago. It reminded me of the other Bruno Catalano sculptures that were debuted in 2013. Pigeon taking a bath. Under the arches on the Place De Vosges: We made it to the Temple Des Vosges, which is an Orthodox shul in the middle of Paris. We were informed that the seats are full every Shabbat, and they have weddings and other special events there regularly. There was also a reception hall that had hand-painted walls with scenes from the Bible: Afterwards, we continued on to the Rue De...
