Geometric Nights - lightpainting with brutalist architecture and a camera rotation devicesteemCreated with Sketch.

in photocircle •  5 years ago 

From a great night's productive lightpainting with @fadetoblack in an abandoned lime kiln, these strange concrete beams were begging to be lit and rotated!

Sometimes lightpainting is about what light you prevent from entering the image sensor rather than exposing the sensor, so for the first part of the shot, I made sure to avoid light from hitting the right side of the frame to leave the image unexposed:

Once I worked out the test shot, it was simply a case of starting the exposure at zero degrees, replacing the lens cap without ending the exposure, rotating 180 degrees, removing the lens cap and exposing for the second part of the shot. Job done.

Special thanks goes to @fadetoblack for providing the vapage, without his vape smoke quite a few of the shots we've created together just would't have been the same!

This shot was created in one photographic exposure and is not a Photoshop creation. Here I've used a Sony A7 full frame camera with a Samyang 12mm fisheye lens for the wide perspective on the concrete structure.

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.

Yes hahaha up will never be the same agein :) keep up the awsome work :)

A fascinating gimmick with the surroundings. You can get lost in geometry.

Cheers mate, I think being a designer for years has given me the correct combination of brain cell(s) to see stuff upside down and backwards lol
