Rosa’s Garden (2026) by Marco Baldonado is inspired by the artist’s 99-year old grandmother Rosa, and the gardening rituals that sustain her vitality. Rosa’s Garden invites the audience to walk through a surreal passageway of clotheslines, harvest baskets and a video portrait of Rosa herself.
So I bought a camera remote with many features but one being "bulb mode" which to those looking at this and don't know what that means I can control the camera and shutter in any manner I like without touching it. This was a long exposure so I didn't want any movement from touching the camera which could cause a blurred image. Also when you connect a remote to my camera it shuts off steady shot so the servos that compensate for your camera/lens movement dont move. I used a strong tripod so you don't need steady shot on, which helps in creating a crisp image.
The shot was taken in total darkness, which I set the camera to manual mode and did my fine detail focusing while holding a flashlight on the subject. All the light you see is coming from lighting painting tools and fiber optics all of which I just bought and I can change colors to paint each area the color I want during the long exposure. The fiber optics are cool!
I set my ISO to 100 and turned EV to 0 and had to experiment with F-stop to where the image was not to bright or not to dark. No metering mode was used.
Well actually setting up the subject and setting all the camera settings, getting focused, ect ect takes time, lol
This is my first time doing this old style of photography "trick" but to me it was a fun new thing! :)) I did process and crop but...actually if you take your time and use the colors you want where you want, ect ect you can do unprocessed images or little to none anyway....I think!
By the way this camera don't work and my wife and I bought it at a yard sale. The lens is perfect and it had a perfect Hoya filter on it. My plan is to sell the lens and filter on ebay making way more money than what we paid which was about nothing. But I used our yard sale find for this experience lol :)
Thank you very much for taking time to comment and visit my photography!!! I appreciate it.
God bless you and yours...
