A study in circles: long exposure photography

in #appreciator5 years ago (edited)

One of the things I love about lightpainting is the fact you have no idea how it is going to turn out until you close the shutter.

In this case, I'd worked out what I expected the end result to look like and couldn't think of any reason why it wouldn't work, but I was still blown away when I saw the back of the camera.

For this, the only tool used was an orb tool (light on a string basically) which I spun by hand in very precise locations to form the central pattern.

Then it was off upstairs and then walking back down spinning the orb tool in front of me and job done.

No other lighting was needed - all the background lighting is just thrown off the orb tool.

All done in one (very long) photographic exposure.

This is such great art. I'm shocked seeing how this can also be compared with a heaven/hell situation. It's wonderful because you can not only appreciate the work the lightpainting took itself but also what it represents easily.

That's such a cool result. What was the exposure length? I'd be interested in seeing footage of the process.

Sorry. Missed this comment. I'd take a guess at about a 5 minute exposure. The spirals are dead quick so it is only really the central design which takes time.

To do that, I use luminous dots on the floor so I know where I am
