Having a Ball at the Fort St Augustine 001

Kathy, thanks, this was fun!

Awesome image!!! l/fav

Patricia,Thank You! And I can send you the "recipe" if you want to try this......

That is so cool, Rich!

what a strange idea they had... Literally a ball at the fort! v/

I can't wait to see what you capture.

That's on my list!!! There is an old cemetery right off of the main drag,St George street and I just need to make sure the gate stays open at night, I think they lock it after dusk.

You know St. Augustine is noted for being one of the most haunted cities? It would make a nice image to do one of these at one of the very old grave yards.... but I am weird like that. Thanks for the welcome.

Wendy,Thank You! And a good title name too! It's fun to do and hoping to do some more next trip to St.Augustine. And Welcome to FAA.

Great balls of fire! I was trying to be funny.... love the shots.

Yes, I had brought a strong flashlight, for that very purpose, so the person behind the camera could focus on me and then begin the process. It's an old technique that I used for many years,shooting large format in the studio,using a bright flashlight, to help focus on the subject/tabletop...........

I like this shot! The light ancient walls beyond are extra special in a light ball. One big tip for anyone trying this is to manually focus! I did some on a beach in Prince Edward Island and found out later they were all blurry because I had left it on Autofocus.

Jennifer, Thank You! And lot's of fun, mostly for the people watching me!! And looking for the Rangers!

VERY COOL!!!
