Light Painting Camera Rotation of a Fragile Little Flower.
This time of the year again
As summer is approaching fast the Dandelions are popping up everywhere. Last night I was out for dinner with friends. On my way back I picked up a few and managed to get 3 of them home safely and unharmed. So I had a few ideas that all fell through. But hey it was a good practice run. I might try again more in the coming days.
Sommer rückt schnell näher und schon tauchen die Löwenzähne überall auf. Gestern Abend war ich zum Abendessen mit Freunden unterwegs und auf dem Rückweg habe ich ein paar Pusteblumen gepflückt und es geschafft, 3 davon sicher und unbeschädigt nach Hause zu bringen. Ich hatte ein paar Ideen im Kopf aber, davon hab ich gestern nix geschafft. Aber hey, es war eine gute Übungsrunde.
At first as always lighting test without turning the entire rig. Just quick a reference shot.
Spin
The original plan was to keep a 30° or 45° area open on the top and have another dandelion flight in flames in the center. This time that did not work, but stay tuned if I get it right next time.
Der ursprüngliche Plan war, einen Bereich von 30° oder 45° oben offen zu halten und einen weiteren Löwenzahnflug in der Mitte abzufackeln. Diesmal hat das nicht geklappt, aber wir warten mal ab, evntl. beim nächsten Mal .
Full Spin
Next time I need to bring more of these. But they are so fragile. Anyhow I ran through two of them very quickly. Not even 1 min in I was left with only one. When they don't have water they bend really quickly even during your exposure. So one has to act quickly. Once I burned through two of the Dandelions I knew my original idea was not possible last night.
Nächstes Mal muss ich mehr mitbringen. Aber sie sind ja so zerbrechlich. Wie auch immer, zwei davon waren schon nach 10min nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Wenn die kein Wasser haben, biegen sie sich selbst während der Belichtung sehr schnell. Man muss also schnell handeln. Nachdem ich zwei der Löwenzähne verbraucht hatte, wusste ich, dass meine ursprüngliche Idee letzte Nacht nicht möglich war.
Set & Settings
For these Light Paintings, I used My Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro lens at F22. The camera was set to ISO 100 to get the maximum exposure times. This way I was able to use a stronger flashlight and dump the background into deep black for sure.
With the camera on the rotation rig, the photo took 51 a. 62 seconds of exposure time with all rotational steps.
Für diese Light Paintings habe ich mein Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro-Objektiv bei F22 verwendet. Die Kamera war auf ISO 100 eingestellt, um die maximale Belichtungszeit zu erhalten. Auf diese Weise konnte ich eine stärkere Taschenlampe verwenden und den Hintergrund sicher ins tiefste Schwarz bringen.
Mit der Kamera auf dem Drehgestell dauerte das Foto 51 u. 62 Sekunden Belichtungszeit mit allen Winkelschritten.
Fire it up
As the ultimate glorious last step I lit up the Dandelion. It's just soooo cool. Don't you think? This time I made the mistake that the flame was on 9 or 3 o'clock so the flame escaped my frame. Last year this idea worked a bit better. But it does not mean there not more flowers around the next weeks.
Als Letztes habe ich natürlich den Löwenzahn angezündet. Einfach so cool. Findet Ihr nicht auch? Dieses Mal habe ich den Fehler gemacht, dass die Flamme nicht auf 9 oder 3 Uhr stand, so dass die Flamme aus dem Bild ragt. Letztes Jahr hat das etwas besser funktioniert. Aber das bedeutet nicht, dass es nicht mehr Pusteblumen gibt.
Colors maybe next time again 😍

If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far, and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...
Cheer Up, Guys!
