Maire Island Lighting
We’ve been trying to capture lightning for a very long time. At one point some of you may recall we even faked it in Utah. This was captured on a cold wet night in Maire Island on a disastrous light painting outing.

Yosemite Elves and Sprites (light painting in the forest)
As you saw in our last post, we recently visited Yosemite. We did this in part to capture the stars but also to hunt down the mythical forest-dwellers that spin light in to art. Without comment, here’s 4 of their attempts. A tutorial might follow. Depends how they’re feeling.

“The Best Damn Vernal Falls Photo In The World”
There’s quotes around the title. That means someone said it. That means it’s true. Ego much? 🙂 This time of the year there’s very little water in Yosemite National Park. The snows have not yet settled. Last year’s Winter was mild. Everything is as dry as a bone. And of course, it spent the summer…

[updated] Nikon Needs to Fire someone Part 2
I’ve posted before about how I’d fire someone at Nikon given half the chance because their product lineup makes no sense. Thanks to Nikon Rumors, I now have even more evidence that they’re nuts over there. The above picture shows how their camera range is laid out. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it? Buggers. Still, I…

Burning Jeep and the Milky Way at Crater Lake
Here’s our crazy idea. Let’s take a picture that’s never before been done. We’ll start with photographing the entire visible Milky Way, from the bit where it hits the Earth in the south, arcing all the way over to the bit where it hits the Earth in the north (bloody great example here ) .…

3 Weeks in Alaska
[wzslider info=”true” lightbox=”true”] Hey, so we’ve been quiet for a while. Sorry about that but to mis-quote Douglas Adams, all sorts of things kept cropping up. One of which is that we spent 3 weeks in Alaska and Vancouver. There’s no tutorial here, and no ‘family’ photos. We’ve hundreds of shots that we’ll share on…

America is burning
We know this isn’t a photo tip but we’re getting a lot of questions about our safety. The short answer is yes, we’re very very safe where we are. It looks like San Fran might have some power and water issues in its future but the right people are working on solving that. In the…

Tutorial: making fire rain
This is beyond nuts. We don’t think we’ll be trying this one and recommend you don’t either. For the full details of how this is done, please check out Van Elder’s blog.

Burning at the night garden
Our friends at the Star Circle Academy were kind enough to let us play with fire again. The trip to the beach was a hoot, as 15 or so new friends learned how to burn and spin steel wool & magnesium, how to use light painting to plant a night garden, and generally improved their…

One Night Of Good Carma
CARMA is the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy. Bet you’re pleased you now know that! We were under the impression that you could see it from the side of highway 395, south of Bishop CA, and north of Big Pine. Our plan was that we’d jump a fence and spend a night avoiding…

The next generation of light painting
We’ve never done this before, but here goes. All the pictures and links you’re about to see belong to someone else. That someone is Darren Pearson, known on Flickr as DariusTwin. Now where we build tools that make light patterns, and our new friend Stuart makes pictures appear from nowhere in a studio, Darren makes…

Naked Grinding (NSFW)
As you know, we love burning stuff here at Photoshop Scares Me. But even by our standards this one was quite extreme. Ask yourself what you’d do if you were locked in a room with a naked lady and a grinder? For those that don’t know, this is a grinder… When you hold it against…
Got any book recommendations?
