Mike Stobbs

Mike is one of the first people I met on here. He is talented and has recently started painting old buildings and vehicles with light, http://www.pbase.com/impalass/painting_with_light . Where Mike lives, it is dark at night. So dark that he can have 11 minute exposures. If you want to see what an 11 minute exposure would look like at my house go stare at a peice of white poster board. This shot was the last of around 30 pictures for me, and it still isn't that great. To appreciate how hard painting with light is you need to go do it.

Take a look at Mike's stuff. He really brings out the beauty of Saskatchewan. Thanks for all of the comments and for the friendship.

I'm wondering how I missed this as well....great shot Jim, and a great tribute to Mike. I know you two will have so much fun when you get a chance to shoot together, and I know it will happen one day.

Nice job on 'lighting it up' The faint light in the leaves adds depth.

Another great tribute. I instantly thought of Mike. It's an impressive line of work he does, and I'm not sure how he does it so well. Ancient chinese secret, I'm sure.
I still don't know if I want to try this technique. I'll leave it to the master(s).
