.: 4 :.
The first two of these pictures (matches) were taken entirely with ambient/natural light. We lost power for about half an hour, and I didn't feel like sitting upstairs doing nothing. So, I took pictures of matches.
Number one was a long exposure showing the entire progression of the match being lit. At the beginning of the frame, it is still un-lit, then when the shutter opens, I ripped the box across the match (the match needed to stay in the same place), and let it burn for the rest of the exposure.
Number two was a shorter exposure, but still about 4 seconds.
And then the last one was with power again. All I did was turn on my strobe light, and use a little LED light to draw patterns in the dark. Basically, when there is no light, the camera doesn't pick anything up, meaning the exposure would be totally black. But with little flashes of light from the strobe, you get my hand frozen in a few places. And since I do this a few times, you see it in many places. It's actually quite fun to draw in the dark, as you have to wait until the end of the exposure to see what you drew.
