22 Oct 04 Well here is my third attempt at night photos. I got some colored stage gels and used them to make filters for my flash thus adding a bit of color to my pictures. Unlike my other attempts, there wasn't much moonlight to speak of so these aren't timed exposures so much as multiple exposures with the flash. The longest exposure here is of the pavilion with its light turned on, and it was only a couple of seconds. By enlarge I was just trying to learn how the film would react to the colored flash and which filters work well, and how they interact. for instance I wanted some of the beach pictures to be red on one side, and blue on the other, what I ended up with was pink all over as in the picture at the bottom of this series, but it did work well enough if objects in the picture were moved so that only one color light was reflected in one place such as the blue and red picture of me at the table. I also learned that red seems to overpower all the other colors when it is used with them, and comes through very strong when used by itself.
