Hardon Landron : Stepping in Muscadet country part 11 (Lightpainting on Hive)

Hi everyone,

Welcome into my ephemere photon collider at the Landron vineyard!

The Nez en l'Air festival into the vineyards started today 😎

To prepare my workshops here, I visited the Domaine Landron twice in March.

I love industrial locations because I can find a lot of different materials. This time, it's like paradise because I don't have to sneak from the security guards, manage with barb wires nor meet unfriendly strangers. I had the building for myself for hours 😀

I saw that tiny footbridge close to the celling during my first session but I had no time to work with it. For this second session, it was mandatory for me to try something using it. First, I had in mind something very classic (an abstract light-calligraphy with ambiant lighting) but I switched plans for a very practical reason : I was't able to use my tiny tripod and I had to take the big one, with the CRT mounted on it. As it was there and ready to rotate, I had to try a couple a rotations.

I was so satisfied with the first attempt (below) that I immediatly dropped my initial idea to focus on kinetic work starting from this point.

Here's a picture that shows the frame without kinetic work. For that one, I used my back scanner to put orange light from the rear to the front and a simple flashlight with a light-blue gel as conter-lighting in front.

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.
