Photo of the Week 08

[Canon XTi Rebel] No postwork.

Discovered this interesting effect while taking pictures of my computer with all the lights in the room turned off.  With the Canon Rebel XTi (digital SLR), I could focus the shot and then take the shot.  The shutter would shut for a few seconds before it completed taking the pic (because the light source in the room wasn’t very good, and I was shooting without a flash).  During those few seconds, I found that while trying to hold the camera perfectly steady (which I couldn’t do, it was shaking just a bit) – it created some lighting patterns in the picture.  And then I messed around with shaking the camera intentionally in different directions, creating these cool effects.  Below is a photo of the side of my box, and then a similar photo with shaking the camera a bit more.

[Canon XTi Rebel] No postwork.

I built my custom box originally in November of ‘07, but has seen many changes and upgrades already, so there are just a few of the original parts still left.  More pics and full rig specs soon.

(Also, sorry for the late posting this week – my internet has been out since Saturday…hopefully, no more downtimes for a while.)
