Today, I found another light photography website that had some very interesting samples of peoples' work (I will attach pictures below). Something that I would like to explore is light exposure and what types of things can be made by using light to create, essentially, digital paintings. I would most likely focus on the formal aspects of the work because that is the main idea of light photography that interests me. It is fun to look at and fun to see how the pictures turn out, because you don't know until you finally hear the shutter click and see the preview of the image. Although, it is possible that I could include some conceptual aspects, depending on the subject. This past week I went on a cruise and took some pictures that involved light painting and I found some new techniques to work with, such as moving the camera as the light is being taken in and also zooming in and out as the picture is being formed. 
Anyway, here are some pictures that I found.

This week, I'm looking at more light painting/light trail pictures. I particularly like the following pictures and the idea of pictures involving cities. Since I am working on a photoshop picture right now with an old image and a new image, I'm hoping to do a project more like this next to change things up. I'm attaching a very interesting website below that has long exposure images of everything from glowing worms and jellyfish to forest fires in California. This technique of using long exposure to accentuate light is cool to me.

Here are a couple of the images from this website: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/tags/long-exposure/

Today, I was trying to find double exposure pictures where people take old pictures of cities and edit a newer picture of the same place over it. I didn't find that specifically, but I stumbled upon some interesting double exposure pictures of city and tree lines edited inside people's silhouettes-- they seemed interesting to me. I would consider doing some portraits like these, but I especially am interested in the combination of old and new pictures to show change over time and how things look since development in technology, whether good or bad. 


It could be fun to learn how to make these pictures for technique purposes. I am in the process of learning how to use photo shop so that I can take a picture like this:
and combine it with a picture like this: 
I don't plan on doing this for a lot of projects unless I just love it, but I would like to do some normal pictures that I have for quality or breadth.
