MBeck Photography

I have obviously been on a slight break from photography.  Between my career and my family (wife and 2 kids) I simply have no time anymore.  And to be quite honest, I am rarely anywhere interesting or worth taking photographs.

But that changed on the 4th of July this year.  I went to an amazing party at a friend’s house.  They had a great fireworks show at the end of the party.  And I took my first set of fireworks pictures ever.  Hope you enjoy them.  I thought they turned out quite nice.

Light Write

So this is one of the more entertaining photos.  And this is straight from the camera, no editing or tricks.  I had my camera on a remote shutter release.  I held open the shutter and used two LED keychains to “draw” in the air with light.  It takes some practice.  You have to do it all backwards so that it shows up the right way in the camera.  And you have to do it all with your ‘mind’s eye’ to picture where you are drawing, since you don’t see what you’ve drawn until the picture is done.  Hope you enjoy, this one was lots of fun.
