Most times we shoot the same scene over and over again to get the timing and exposure correct. You not only have to think about your camera settings but you also have to think about how things are going to move in the scene to provide you with an amazing end product. Working with The Pixel Stick requires thought and practice. It might toss you off your normal routine and allow you to see and think about places differently. I think this is part of what makes it a memorable experience. So when I plan a shoot with The Pixel Stick it typically doesn’t start until 9 pm and we end up shooting until midnight or later. At my current stage of life, I am typically in bed early and up just before sunrise. If you want to use The Pixel Stick in an outdoor setting then it obviously has to be late at night.
However, I find the challenge of capturing a creative image in-camera to be the fun part. I typically try and do some sort of behind-the-scenes video of the process so that I can prove to people that call “Photoshop.” I will admit some of the looks could be replicated in Photoshop and probably made to look just as good or better. It takes time to think of a concept and I personally enjoy working with others in executing the idea and creating an in-camera image that is sure to have people scratching their heads. Working with The Pixel Stick is a collaborative process. It is not something I use all the time but when I do the photographic experience is always fun and memorable. I have had access to The Pixel Stick for the last several years. The Pixel Stick Experience The Pixel Stick
