Good evening Hiveworld and I hope your Tuesday has been a great one. Mine was ok but a bit too much work and too little lightpainting.
I got another helping hand from Lauren again this evening which is always much appreciated. I suppose it works in her favour as it stops her having to watch me pace around the house moaning about lack of ideas.
Here is a quick breakdown of the shot from tonight. As always if you have any questions about technique or gear used fire it in the comments below.
I set the Lauren bit up first with the camera balanced on a bin (I need a 3rd tripod) and set the dlw up behind her ensuring she fell in the middle of the frame.
Next stop, into the kitchen where I set up my tripod looking down at a black granite floor tile. Upon which I teased and thinned out a chunk of wire wool. I got it spread as thinly as possible and formed a kind of circular hole in the middle. I noted focus and returned the camera to the bin.
Lights off and started the exposure before spinning the dlw 3 times whilst Lauren held still. I replaced the lens cap and moved the camera to the kitchen, next I changed focus and closed down the aperture as the wool burns super bright. I lit one side of the wool before removing the lens cap and let it burn it's course.
Shot during a single long exposure with minor edits and a crop in LR Mobile.
Happy days.
