Artistic Concepts and Processes

We all know what an essay is, right? We've all had experience in school writing one or, at least, reading one--a short, opinionated writing about a specific subject. However, there is an alternative definition, one we often don't consider --an initial attempt or endeavor. It is vital for us to create without being afraid to fail, essayer as the French put it, to attempt. In doing so we become more familiar with a process or technique and eventually, with enough attempts, we can become experts.

Here is a sample of my attempts...

Dinner With A Gypsy: Ozark Empire Fair 2011

A 1-4 second exposure gave the best results for the rides. It gave enough definition to the moving lights, enough smooth motion-blur while still retaining a degree of sharpness. Longer exposures were solid, confusing masses. White balance was fairly cool (2500-3500 Kelvin), long exposures tend get red/orange. It was also interesting to fire a second curtain flash to get the definition of some passersby.
