I had asked for suggestions on an idea for today’s photo on Facebook. One of the suggestions was “Look Up”. I saw it on my phone, I was in the my yard, I looked up and there was the moon. I went grabbed the camera, came back to the same spot and a dragonfly lined up on a string of lights. Blur the moon out in the background and here is the photo.

Back to the Charles River Falls in Medway, this time painting them with light just after dusk. Set the tripod up downstream, then walked back to the falls to paint with a flashlight, keeping the tree and branches silhouetted. And the tree helped hide me and the light. Full(ish) moon kept the sky bright, the exposure is 30 seconds.

Light painted the bridge at the park tonight. Two and a half minute exposure, single flashlight painting the scene, with light from the lamp posts just out of frame on each side.

The wind was angry, I waited for moments where the clouds showed the moon.

I’ve wanted to shoot a series like this for years, last year I reached out to Medway Fire Department to see if they wanted to be involved. Not only did they want to be part of it, but they also invited me up to the station to shoot it. Steel wool, stainless steel whisks, chain and a willing subject, dressed for safety shot with a wide angle lens and long exposures. After weeks of delays due to rain, we finally had a night that worked. We had hecklers yelling America! as they drove by, I am sure it was a sight to see with the station being at the intersections of two main roads. Thanks to Lieutenant Tracy for partnering with me on this and Firefighter Lennon for spinning like a pro.

Been awhile since a barn update, It is coming along, we are very close to being ready to shoot some photos in there. Couple delays came up as to be expected, that’s why I did this in January and not portrait season. I know at one time I had hoped for an Open House this Saturday the 26th, that will be moved, but the wait will be worth it. I am excited to see it all come together. Shout out to James Daniels Licensed Electrician for lighting her up and Tucker Construction for all the work they have put into this project, go check out these two great local businesses. More soon.
