Lighting up St.Benet's Abbey in Norfolk, England at night - also driving my car like I stole it to get here!

in hive-108913 •  5 years ago 

After nearly a week of incessant rain and disappointment, I finally managed to get out and shoot St.Benet's Abbey in the dark. In fact as soon as I saw a clear sky, I drove my car like I stole it to get here before it started raining again! I could have light painted here all night but being in the middle of the Norfolk Broads and rivers, condensation soon got the better of me.

Lit entirely with a gelled LED Lenser X21r2 with me running around in the dark (which might explain why I was condensating too!)

Here's another one before my lens misted over...

These images were created in one photographic exposure which in these cases is quite tricky rushing about in complete darkness!

About me: I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.

Superlative use of colored light. I especially like the color scheme of the second shot best. I wish the light-sphere had been in that one too.

Thanks mate, with a 3 hour drive to get here for me, I have to be certain I will get good weather! I found an abandoned farm near to this location too which needs checking out...

Totally worth the effort. I have the feeling it works in any weather. Foggy mystery could do it too.

Super cool work! Waiting on some gear and warmer weather to get started on my light painting journey!

@thelogicaldude Thanks, being cold while lightpainting is half the fun! :-)
