A New Hope part 12 (Lightpainting)

over 2 years ago

Hi everyone,

Moving to a new city is never that easy.
You have to forget your habits and think differently. Build new links, find new friends...

When you're a lightpainter, you definitely have to find new suitable locations for your art. I mean if you're a lightpainter who goes outside instead of doing your stuff exclusively in studio. I like studio work but, to be honest, there's nothing like being outdoor during the night for me.

I noticed a potential nice spot during last winter but the weather was shitty as hell so I had to wait a bit to try it. Two days ago, I had the opportunity to visit that location again and try few things using my camera rotation tool.

Salut à tous,

S'installer dans une nouvelle ville n'est jamais aussi facile.
Il faut oublier ses habitudes et penser différemment. Créer de nouveaux liens, trouver de nouveaux amis...

Lorsque vous êtes un lightpainter, vous devez absolument trouver de nouveaux emplacements appropriés pour votre art. Je veux dire si vous êtes un lightpainter qui va à l'extérieur au lieu de faire vos trucs exclusivement en studio. J'aime le travail en studio mais, pour être honnête, rien de tel pour moi que d'être dehors la nuit.

J'avais remarqué un joli spot potentiel durant l'hiver dernier mais le temps était merdique donc j'ai dû attendre un peu pour tenter le coup. Avant-hier, j'ai eu l'occasion de me rendre à nouveau à cet endroit et d'essayer quelques petites choses en utilisant mon outil de rotation d'appareil.

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?
Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
