Not some of my best stuff but very cool nonetheless !
I'd like to try some stuff with bringing out the Alien Bee's to light up the scene, along with a filter or two just to see what would happen. Definitely use the CPL on the water, I can't wait to see some clarity in the stores :lol:
This was taken down by the river on 8-12-09. I was hunting for perseides but I couldn't get any on cam :( Just kept on missing them as they streaked by a place where my camera/lens wasn't pointing.

I used a small flashlight to lightpaint the scene, here, in an attempt to see more of the stones underneath.
Wasn't very successful but it made a cool contrast to the blue greens, above.

In the distance you can see the lightening of the clouds - that's a thunderstorm that was going on. From time to time I would hear a big CRACK after seeing a persied meteor. I started thinking they had become meteorites and landed nearby! Fortunately I realized on the horizon about 20kms away there was a thundercloud...and notilucent clouds, underneath it. So I had perseids meteors, notilucent clouds, auroras and thunderstorms all at once.

Again and again, about 6 times this happened...ah well, got some auroras battling the clouds, at least.
