blue (painting with light attempt)
-
Hi all,
tried painting with light over the weekend with a 5 second shutter speed, got it all in camera which I was really happy about, only tweaked contrast and slight sharpen in photoshop. C&C welcome. gonna have some more fun with it this week.

That’s just given me an idea…
Nice work – I’ve been interested in this sort of thing – a bit like boxing though, interest without partaking in it myself. Nice to see an off the wall angle to send it further into abstraction.

I know very little about this process…but I think that for a shot produced pretty much in camera this is amazing looking Sharon. I’m not a fan of filter produced abstracts or shake the camera around while firing a long shutter speed and see what happens method, don’t really see the point, so this is a breath of fresh air to me…really well taken and produced.
Excellent!!

8)Very nice! I especially like the smoke (am I right that it’s smoke) above the candle. It has a subtle warm tonem, which makes the image interesting…
Good work.
Thanks for all the nice comments all :D
Its not actually smoke and it happened completely by accident, I noticed a ‘smokey’ blur in the top corner in each attempt and took me a while to figure out that during the 5 second shutter, after I’d made the spiral shape with an LED, for the brief time it took to lift my hand up and turn of the torch light my hand came out as a lit up blur. So after I realised that it was the LED inside the candle holder lighting my hand which was moving really fast I tried to exploit it and once I finished making the spiral with the LED I turned it off and moved my fist up and down really fast towards and away from the candle holder. Got some extremely strange looks from my cat!!! and my boyfriend thinks I’m a bit wierd now :?
Going to experiment a bit more at the weekend and see what else you can do with lights and slow shutter speeds, its a lot of fun! can feel myself getting addicted, I keep looking in shops for new or unusual kinds of torches!
