Pathway into darkness (part 5) - Lightpainting on Hive

Hi everyone,

Temperature is going down slowly here as clouds are coming 😎
Today's post is about a lightpainting trip I made mi-june close to my home.

I was happy to visit again this location I scouted during April. After a very pleasant 1st session here, I wanted to take a different path in my creative process using that nice tunnel.

For that picture, I lit the tunnel alternatively with light-blue and orange 16 times (8 times at 16mm and 8 times at 35mm) to create my background. Then, I worked with a diamond-shaped plexiglas tool mounted on a flashlight and handled with a third-arm :

212s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

I kept the same basis on that one but I made more rotations :

_MG_1432.jpg

548s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

The next one is more simple : a 8 rotation job lighting the tunnel in orange and light-blue and a work with a black optic fiber tool mounted on a flashlight and handled with a third-arm :

_MG_1437.jpg

133s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

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.

Thanks @jlinaresp but it's not digital art at all : this is photography. All was made during long exposures, without any editing nor post-processing. Please check the camera settings on each pictures.
