Late Birthday Gift as Light Painting subject - Dinner Table Photography
My friend Lisa just gave me my birthday gift. For some reason, we never got around the handover in the past 6months 😆. What have I got? I got this cool water bottle with a filter on the top. It's all of glass and looked so cool laying on my dinner table. As I had dinner I kept looking at the refraction my head light created on the table. The Camera was also there and it did not take long before my dinner was gone and the flashlights on.
Here is what happend next!
Endlich habe ich mein Geburtstagsgeschenk von Lisa. Aus irgendeinem Grund haben wir es in den letzten 6 Monaten nie geschafft, es zu übergeben 😆. Ich bekam diese coole Wasserflasche mit einem Filter oben drauf. Sie ist komplett aus Glas und sah so cool auf meinem Esstisch aus. Beim Abendessen, musste ich ständig die Flasche anschauen und in meinem Kopf gingen nur noch Farben. Die Kamera war ja auch gleich da und es dauerte nicht lange, bis mein Abendessen weg war und die Taschenlampen angingen.
Set Up
Literally not even getting up after dinner. The camera was lying next to my plate and the subject was across on the other dinner mat. Tripods are for ... .ussies
Buchstäblich stand ich nicht einmal nach dem Abendessen auf. Die Kamera lag neben meinem Teller und das Motiv auf der anderen Tischmatte gegenüber.
Before we start with any colors we have a quick look at the different settings. Lower F-Stop is gonna give me a better bokeh but only a small depth of field. Since I had the Sigma 105mm Macro it has been a very narrow band there. So I wanted to find the balance between F-Stop and timing here. As you see it turned out pretty cool.
Bevor Farben dazukommen, werfen wir einen schnellen Blick auf die verschiedenen Einstellungen. Eine niedrigere Blendenzahl wird mir ein besseres Bokeh geben, nicht so cool für Tiefenschärfe. Seitdem ich das Sigma 105mm Macro dran hab, ist der Schärfenbereich sehr schmal geworden. Also wollte ich hier ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Blendenzahl und Timing finden. Ist aber ziemlich cool geworden. Oder?
Then I played with all the different colors my flashlights made. These are all popping out of the camera just like this. That was super rewarding for someone like me ;-) I was on a run here.
Dann wurde mit all den verschiedenen Farben gespielt. Alles was meine Taschenlampen hergaben. Diese Bilder kamen alle genau so aus der Kamera heraus. Wenn man mal einen Lauf hat ;-)
Favorite color?
As Sven aka @lichtkunstfoto would ask: Do you have a color concept? You think this was all planned out beforehand? Nope, I just went into "RGB Re-mixer mode"! Just all the colors I could find were mixed here.
What colors are you into? Any specific combination you feel extra attracted to?
Wie Sven, alias @lichtkunstfoto, fragen würde: Hast du auch schon ein Farbkonzept? Egal, Ich bin einfach in den "RGB-Remixer-Modus" gegangen! Alle Farben, die ich finden konnte, wurden hier mal irgendwie rein gemischt.
Welche Farben magst du? Gibt es eine bestimmte Kombination, die dich besonders anspricht?
Summer colors I'd say! Cheers PPL
I hope you found the story somewhat interesting and these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
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!

I felt the same .. that's how that one ended up in the selection for the post. Thanx for your encouragement.
