Frustration by laurentye

Frustration

Had a very frustrating picture taking evening. I couldn't think of anything I wanted to take a picture of all day and finally when my husband returned home at 10pm I decided it would be a great idea for us to go out with my wide angle lens, which I haven't used much.

Obviously I should have known that it was too dark to take the kind of pictures I had in mind - should have brought a tripod... My original idea was to take some night shots of my downtown area, but my pictures were all blurry of course. oh well next time. Hope you are all having a nice weekend!
wow super shot! love that ghostly feel of the lights! :)

hey this is really good I like it a lot in fact fav. Chris just poped in & thinks its awesome well perhaps AAU!! It seems to fit the title so well. For anyone looking view LARGE it is even better then. Chris says is this 2 photos layered????? I think it is one please settle the dispute :-)
It looks like fireflys in the sky

@spthorne hahaha Simon, I think you are crazy! I am not happy with this at all, and posted it out of frustration of having no good pictures, and you fav'd it, lol. Well, then I guess art is very subjective :D I'm sorry to tell Chris, but Simon you won the dispute it is just one picture- you had me laughing here :)

@spthorne lol you guys are funny :D Simon you are right (I'm sorry Chris - I don't want to tell him he's right, but it's true, lol) my shutter was at i think 2 seconds and when my arm moved the lights along the path made it look like that.

@kdimagery Hi Kd thanks so much!

I really like the light play in this shot Lauren!
June 18th, 2011  
I like the light trails. I can really SEE frustration in this
June 18th, 2011  
This is cool and perfectly summarises frustration!
June 18th, 2011  
love the light trails clever

Does look cool...maybe more interesting without the tripod than it would have been with. What do you have for a wide angle? I think I'd have to test a Sigma, Canon and Tamron before buying one.

i also have to get a tripod, i use my car or bike or wall as support for the camera for the night shots.
cool shot!

This looked very cool when viewed large. I thought it was a birthday cake from the thumbnail! Anyway, frustration leads to learning and I'll bet you learned something here. :)

pat
turned out lovely!

@jgoldrup my wide angle is a sigma. and yeah i think all you can do is test them and choose what you like. i found searching reviews on the net not very helpful at all.
June 19th, 2011  
@slang lol i wish it were a birthday cake :)
June 19th, 2011  
I think it looks kind of cool, Lauren, a sort of string canopy made of threads of light,
June 20th, 2011  
Exactly what I found too - there's always good and bad reviews for everything!
June 20th, 2011  
We all have bad days it can be so frustrating but so rewarding when you get a shot you like. x
June 20th, 2011  
ooh i love my wide angle lens! it's so fun!
i also love the squiggles! i have a pic like this in my 365 too ... i chose it over the focussed ones, just for something different! :)
June 23rd, 2011  
@ilovephoto what wide angle lens did you choose?? i really need to get better with mine, lol
June 23rd, 2011  
@laurentye i have a sigma 10-20. it's fun to play with angles with it :)
