Back to Paris part 24 : quarries, shadows and kinetic approach of lightpainting

in Picture A Day17 days ago (edited)

Hi everyone,

This quarry is like home : I've been there thousands of times 😀 It's so big that I still have areas to explore.

On a friday night, I joined my friend Julie and we drove to this location. I had an appointment with a bunch a crazy-cool underground sculptors, to chat a bit, to drink few beers, to see their recent pieces of art and to share good vibes.

After the meeting, Julie and me walked during a couple of hours in this underground maze. I showed her locations I like, with comments about the good memories I have here. We made small stops to take pictures with simple lighting :

Before leaving, Julie & me took an hour to do a bit of lightpainting. As I had taken my Camera Rotation Tool, I tried a couple of things. Here's one example :

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?

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.
