What does one do on a freezing cold night? Go out with a tripod and take photos of trees!
I took this photo a week ago during a cold snap in the weather. I assembled my tripod on the corner of the street near my home and set it up for a 20 second exposure. Half way through the shot a man, his son and their dog passed. I *knew* something was going to happen and I was right. The dog’s lead got caught in the legs of the tripod but I had a good grip of it so the camera didn’t go flying out onto the road!
There was some movement and those squiggles across the picture are the result. I like it! 🙂

Faking the Lomo effect
I briefly mentioned this lomo effect in my links post yesterday but Jason Kottke has a much better example of this effect. He links to a tutorial but that site seems to be down. Here’s a copy of it if you’re curious.
Kinda reminds me of some of the photos on quarlo.com!

In this CreativeBits tutorial on NeatImage, that package is compared against a Photoshop workflow and the examples are enlightening – Neatimage is worth the money, if you’re using Windows or a Mac.
