Friends, Fun, and FIRE!

Here are some of the better pix from our trip to Kirkland for Thanksgiving. We stayed at my Mom's in Kirkland and spent most of the time running around like crazy people.

Sure it's in the 30's, but it's always baseball weather

Friday night we went to a big bonfire out at the Chew's place on Novelty Hill. Later in the evening Gretchen and I stumbled across this really cool effect. Using my camera with the exposure set to five seconds and perched on a Gorilla Pod, we would take a picture of people in front of the bonfire. Then the subject could move and we'd use the flash on Gretchens camera to create a 'double' exposure. Since it was so dark, and the flashes are so bright, you can't see the movement in the frame.

These are the best of those efforts, let me know what you think.
