The former underground military base part 2 - Lightpainting on Hive

Hi there,

Here's my first post about that trip I made a couple of weeks ago near Paris with my usual partners in crime.

This is a location I visited a couple of times before. A place where you can feel history with an H. This is a former network of underground quarries exploited separately first but linked together in a second period. Then WW2 arrived and changed the whole map : allied forces decided to settle NATO military bases around Europe after the conflict and that's why this place was built under a forrest somewhere around the capital city.

For that trip, we were agree to focus on exploring the quarries in the first part. During our journey, our steps leaded us to an area with cages so I took an hour to play with it :

52s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

82s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

101s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

At the end of the trip, we visited the best underground room of all times!!! Unfortunately for you guys, I swore not to publish any visual content of this pure gem.

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.
