BILL LINFIELD

Another “down and dirty” shot, lying on my belly in the dirt, with a wide angle lens to get the flowers, the mountains and the sky. Some of my best shots come when I change my perspective rather than just standing and taking a shot.

The fire dancers were challenging to photograph, but so fun to finally capture. I went back a few nights in a row during their performances and each time did a bit better. This is a long exposure on a tripod, to get the fire “light trails.” The first night I captured some great light trail photos, but the person in the picture “disappeared” due to the long exposure. In this photo, due to Dave Pfau at Breckenridge Photographics explaining about rear curtain flash syncing, and one of the performers who loaned me an external flash, I was able to flash at the end of the exposure and capture the performers along with the light trail. It was a team effort, super fun and rewarding, and I learned a lot. I love night photography!

This was a slightly overcast day, after one of our first snowfalls, in low light conditions. The birds were fighting each other for food after the snow, but would fly away if you got anywhere close to them. This shot required a higher ISO due to the low light, and was taken with a long, heavy lens, so I used a monopod. It was difficult to focus on the birds because they kept flying in and out, and fast, so I kept clicking and hoped for the best. Regardless of the picture, it was fun to watch them all swooping in and out, so I was happy to capture a shot or two that showed all the activity.
