I don’t have a fancy camera or a tripod and even if I did I don’t really know what I’m doing so Not even close to some of you on here but I thought I would share I took these with one what I think is a 3 watt LED and the exposure set to 8 seconds (the longest my camera will let me do) I really need to get a new camera preferable a SLR of some type. But for now I’m having fun with my old 5 megapixel Kodak z740. I was thinking of dusting off one of my Canon AE-1s and doing some pics with this stuff called film. Anybody use film anymore???

Anyway this is what I got

:D
 
Just thought I would add I didn’t do anything to them other than crop them to the size I wanted them because if I use the zoom the auto focus doesn’t work.
 
Those are sweet looking. Tripods RULE at taking pictures :D. Speaking of tripod I have to find mine. Its somewhere in the house hehe.
 
Not bad at all for a Kodak. That is whit i use and i can get one half descent pic out of 10. I need to find a decent cam to. But don't no if i can use one if i get it LOL
 
i like the idea of the exposure, im going to try that, see what i can get! looks good bro!
 
little blurry but very cool pics those colors pop in those pics

I agree and thanks It's hard to hold a camera still for 8sec and I don't have a tripod so I was sort of amazed that they came out at all
