Into Tomorrow: Shooting in Live Time

Olympus' Live Time feature is a blast to work with and the results are some kind of awesome. It moves a little faster than Live Composite so it keeps you on your toes, so to say. This was shot over a span of 15 seconds at ISO 200; using a ND 1000 lens filter. I was surprised, really, at how well this shot came together and how fast Live Time moved longer exposure photography. Nonetheless, I found a spot to spread out a beach towel and set-up my little Gorilla Pod, underneath Russell-Fields Pier in Panama City Beach~ Dog Beach at Pier Park Mall. It made for a nice late afternoon. 

Learning Live Composite: Sky Wheel Mania II

Went to Pier Park Mall (Panama City Beach) with the tripod a couple of nights ago to begin after dark live composite shooting; I forgot it was spring break. The section of the park I'd originally wanted to shoot at was congested with many people- there wasn't any place to put the tripod. I ended up shooting from the west side of the mall and as you can see from across the parking lot. This really isn't the best shot but using Olympus' live composite I was able to achieve "Sky Wheel Mania." It took a few shots and experimenting with different live composite settings before finding the right niche. This was shot on low ISO 100, @ a focal length of 14 mm for 24-8 second exposures. Watching the photo expose is totally cool, really. Working with my new Olympus OM-D camera is exciting. ( edited 03/18/2019)
