Why night/low light photography is awesome







I find it’s actually harder at times trying to make something interesting in perfect daylight. The reason?

The light isn’t interesting.

Photography literally means “light drawings”, and if your light isn’t interesting, or the contrast between the good light and the boring light isn’t high enough, you are going to have a hard time making interesting photos.

At night, you’re FORCED to find interesting light, because it’s often the only light you have. A street lamp. A broken window in an old building that is letting the light leak through. Moonlight.

So yeah, learn how to coax the best low light quality out of your camera, get yourself a tripod, and get to it!

All photos by me, if you’re curious. Ask permission if you want to use them.

Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine — All on guitar

I’m an effect gearhead, and a lover of some fine Pink Floyd. I used to listen to the Wish You Were Here album every night before going to bed, and what Bill Ruppert does here for the song Welcome to the Machine is flippin’ amazing. That song is an effect heavy, synthesizer-laden mind trip, and the dude does it here all on guitar. (I guess this was so cool that even NPR did a piece about it.

Watch it:

Bacon Flavored Breath Mints

Bacon. Flavored. Breath. Mints.

Call me heretical, but I’m pretty sure that this is part of the sign of the Apocalypse:

And I saw, and, look! a pale horse; and the one seated upon it had the name Death. And Hades was closely following him.

The Revelation of John, Chapter 6, Verse 8

If you’re so inclined, you may purchase these on Amazon: Bacon Flavored Mints. Not an affiliate link, BTW.
