Lightpainting as medication (part 8) - Lightpainting on Hive

Hi,

Photography has always been the beacon in the dark so I've been doing lightpainting again for several weeks. I'll try to do it as often as possible during the following weeks as I'm convinced it will help me to recover physically and mentally.

For my 4th session, I decided to go outside alone last friday night. I scouted an inspirative location a couple of weeks ago and I was looking forward to visit it at night and see how I could manage with it.

After a couple of warm-up shots while lighting the hole and rotating my camera, I decided to add colours using my favorite combo :

170s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

Then, it was time to challenge myself with more complexity : going back to light-calligraphy in a deeper combination :

309s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame. SOOC
No layers /no Photoshop / no editing except minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.

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.
