Hi everyone,
I spent an entire week in Paris on January. It was time to visit friends & family and go back to locations I like.
As I arrived at the blue hour, I decided to take time to do a couple of pictures outside before joining the team and go beneath the surface for the first time of my trip.
This location is very famous in Paris. This is the Pont Rouge. It is part of a gigantic artwork called the Axe Majeur, concepted by the israelian sculptor Dani Karavan. I really love that bridge and I try to do a LP session here as often as I can.
For that specific picture I worked with ambient lighting, with the Red Bridge in my back. It's a very simple composition but I like it.
Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame.
No layers /no Photoshop / no editing except minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.
Gear :

Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.

Woe, this gives me flashbacks :) Great experiment and excellent results.
Did you live in Paris?
Thanks for your nice feedback :)
No, but I wish I had. I was just making reference to the psychedelic experience. When something is cool and trippy like the photo, we say it triggers flashbacks to those psychedelic experiences 😄
Ok I get it ;)
