Yesterday night i went out with a close photography friend. Sven Gerard and I took the chance to see a nature path. It looks like a medieval street that never been paved or used for cars. The trees align so nice.
Today I share the very first test of what could be done here. The English Light Painters (@fadetoblack and @fastchrisuk) have shown so many times great lighting concepts of forest scenery. In full on admiration I want to progress and learn from that and practice camera rotation a little more.
Here I got lucky I have Sven with me and he is going to help me with the lights. So, I can also operate the camera.
The exposure time for the main shot ended being full 224 second operating at ISO 400 with an F4 aparature on the 12mm LAOWA lens. First lighting the row of tree’s in one color then secondly change sides and do it in another color. Same procedure after the rotation then we are finished.
How did we get there? Like in any other scene one has to check for the light condition. That’s what happend here: just waving the light and see how much time I have in relation to the F-Stop and ISO. Then I can build on that and see what kind of lights I going to use.
Next time I would like to add some more interesting features. Lets see what comes out of that.
