I got a new flashlight this week. It has a handle like the BFG in Doom/Quake. When I squeeze the trigger things around it get warm quick.
Photo is a 13 minute exposure of the North Star and my neighbor's pine tree. I used the 2 million candlepower flashlight, an SB-600 flash with a homemade grid spot attached.
I was at a private party at the boss' house (working) and I asked President Clinton's personal photographer to take a pic of me with my camera. He walked out of a doorway and the photographer just said "this is Courtland", he turned, grabbed my hand, said "hi", flash popped, over in 2 seconds -- and that explains the deer in the headlights look.
Many of the photos posted here are taken with an infrared modified Nikon D50 digital SLR camera. The rest are taken with a Nikon D3X, D200 and a Coolpix S51c.
