Photo #2 of my Challenge, Playing With Light
Today I found myself in downtown Riverside California at night. This time over on University avenue at the Thunderbird Lodge. Those who know me, know I love shooting old travel lodges and motels, I find them fascinating and fun. Long before all the hotels and motels were the same, they had character and were unique. The neon sign at the thunderbird is one of my favorites, and I had been wanting to shoot it for some time. But I didn't just want a plane picture of the sign, so I started playing with the light. I used a 2 second exposure and while the image was exposing, I would zoom the lens out. This is what gives it the look it has.
ISO 200, exp 2 seconds, f 16, manual exposure Nikkor 18-135 lens soomed out durring exposure.
