Day Four
I actually had a bit of fun with this one. Once again I was having difficulties deciding what to do. Actually...that is not true.
My original idea for a shot was of two houses in Beaver Dam--one of the neighbors has many recall Walker/Fitzgerald signs, while the other has many support Walker signs. While I was able to get some pictures, I was not happy with them.
I went to my old standby, head down towards the lake. I went to the park and noticed that the light on this handicap pier was pretty interesting. The sun was already very down, so I didn't have much to work with for a nice still image. Then the idea came to me--long exposure.
Exposure Information
15mm, 20 seconds, f/22, ISO 800; Shot @ 15mm with a Tokina 11-16 on my D7000.
The blurry white blob is me walking towards the camera from about 2/3 the way down the pier. I walked past the camera with about 4-5 seconds left on the exposure. My guess is that the camera sensor was not picking up on my dark pants, so it decided to expose the dark background, which included a spot light from across the lake. I didn't realize my ISO was at 800, which was disheartening due to the amount of noise that it added to the photograph. Oh well--I still like it.
As always, original photograph can be seen here.

This is pretty awesome zach! Really cool, which park was it at?
