Light Painting the book "Genesis" by Sebastiao Salgado
When I take a tour around my tiny library you'll find some diverse pieces. When it comes to photography I actually don't have much material. My partner brought this one home. That is easily explained by her Brazilian background.
To show you the pictures of this book would not be fair. So I insist you going either to the publich library or get it at the bookstore to satisfy your curiosity.
Wenn ich einen Rundgang durch meine winzige Bibliothek mache, findet man sehr unterschiedliches. In Sachen Fotografie habe ich eigentlich gar nicht so viele Bücher. Mein Partner brachte dieses gute Stück nach Hause. Sie hat auch einen brasilianischen Pass, so erklärt sich das relativ einfach.
Die Bilder im Buch kann ich natürlich nicht zeigen. Dafür müsst ihr schon selber in den Buchladen.
Explain Love
Many use the word in different ways and way too inflationary. In Germany, we use the word very sparse only, when we really mean it. This accounts for books just as much for our partner.
However, you handle that I urge you to use it kindly and with an open eye on your receiver background, culture, and heritage. It makes all the difference to account for different filters.
Viele verwenden das Wort unterschiedlich und viel zu inflationär. In Deutschland verwenden wir das Wort nur sehr spärlich, wenn wir es wirklich meinen. Dies gilt für Bücher ebenso für unseren Partner.
Also bitte benutzt also das Wort Liebe mit Bedacht und mit einem offenen Auge für den Hintergrund und Kultur eures gegenüber.
The Set-Up & Settings
At first, I was about 2m away and zoomed in but then there was not much to see of the pages. Then I moved in about 70cm from the book and used a relatively wide angle. In this case, the Canon 24-105mm F4 lens was at a 32mm focal length.
The Camera was set to ISO 100 and the Lens to F22. Since I was relatively close to the object and I knew my light will be very bright I used the high F-Stop.
Zuerst war ich etwa 2m entfernt und habe hineingezoomt, aber dann war von den Seiten nicht mehr viel zu sehen. Dann bin ich bis 70cm ran und habe das Canon 24-105mm F4 Objektiv eine Brennweite von 32 mm auf gemacht.
Die Kamera war auf ISO 100 und das Objektiv auf F22 eingestellt. Da ich relativ nah am Objekt war und ich wusste, dass mein Licht sehr hell sein wird, habe ich den hohen F-Stop verwendet.
So those who know me I love the Camera Rotation Light Paintings. So yes that's what you see here. It is not a reflection but a rotation mid-exposure.
The first image is a 47-second exposure and the second with the blue in it took slightly longer with a 75-second open shutter.
Wer mich kennt, weiß ich liebe Camera Rotation Light Paintings. Also ja, das ist genau was Ihr hier seht. Also keine Reflexion, sondern eine Rotation in einer Belichtung.
Das erste Bild ist eine 47-Sekunden-Belichtung und das zweite mit dem Blau darin dauerte etwas länger mit einem 75-Sekunden-offenen Verschluss.
What do we find in your Library?
We are writing 2023 and hard-copy printed books are still a thing. I suppose sales number for prints are going continuesly downwards. So when we purchase a book it got to be worthwhile reading it again and again. In this very case its more about looking at the images. This is a book that holds a seemingly endless number of exceptional photographs. If you are into photography of any kind I highly recommend adding the "Genesis" to your selection.
Wir schreiben das Jahr 2023 und gedruckte Bücher sind immer noch ein Ding. Ich nehme an, die Verkaufszahlen gehen zurück. Wenn wir also ein Buch kaufen, muss es sich lohnen, es immer wieder zu lesen. In diesem Fall ist es einfach, es ist ein Bildband. Dies ist ein Buch, das eine scheinbar endlose Anzahl außergewöhnlicher Fotografien enthält. Wenn Ihr euch für Fotografie jeglicher Art interessiert, dann gehört "Genesis" in eure Regale.
Also, I love numbers so this was scheduled for 01-10 10:01
I hope you found 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 ...
All there is left to say is Cheer Up!

Schöne Idee Gunnar! Anfangs habe ich das Buch gar nicht erkannt. Tolle Ergebnisse. 😎
Wie schon bei Ralf gesagt ... auch ich hatte da Inspiration von anderen Künstlern und habe mal meine eigene Ideen mit reingepackt. Freut mich wenn's gefällt!
Niiiice!👍
Glad you like it .. cheers!
This is so creative and cool 😎
Thanks for sharing @gunnarheilmann 👋🏻😊
Beautiful, love it.
Thaaaank you sooo much. Glad I was able to put a smile on your face 😁
You are so welcome @gunnarheilmann 😊 you did 😁
Have a lovely evening!
Ist Genial dein zweiter Vornahme Gunnar? 👌Das sind wieder wunderbare Bilder und Anregungen zum Experimentieren zugleich. Ich liebe Bücher und ja, manche liest man auch öfter oder schaut sich nochmal einige Passagen in ihnen an. Leider kommen Bücher etwas aus der Mode, befürchte ich. Meine Schätze behalte ich jedenfalls. 😉
WOW danke fürs Kompliment. Allerdings hatte natürlich auch ich externe Inspiration. Irgendwo hatte ich mal Blätter gefaltet gesehen und das sah so cool aus. Als Light Painting wollte ich das dann mal machen. Ich habe auch schon was irgendwie mit na Gabel im Buch gesehen. Dann war auch mal was mit nem Ei was auch crazy aussah. Da gibt's also noch einiges was man machen kann.
Was öfter vorkommt sind die mit dem Ring in der Mitte und wenn der Schatten richtig fällt gibt's ein Herz in der Mitte .. auch noch ein Versuch wert. Da habe ich auch noch ein paaaaaar Ideen. Am Ende ist es ja cool wenn jeder mal was Probiert und wir uns gegenseitig inspirieren.
Bücher! Ja behalten ...
Ich sehe es zum Glück positiv in meinem Umfled. Alle geben die alten CD's weg oder entsorgen die direkt. Bücher werden da etwas anders behandelt.
CDs: da bin ich noch nicht angekommen. Bei mir liegen noch schwarze Scheiben auf dem Plattenspieler 🤣 🎶
That's really cool how you shot that with a book to catch that. I took a quick look on the net at the book itself and it look stunning. I have some old hardcover books of art, but I wouldn't trust myself to arrange one to photograph in the manner you've done.
I drooled seeing your camera set up.
Glad that I inspired some thought not only on what I did but also on the book. That's super cool! Thanx for taking the time and also reading through. So much appreciated!
I really enjoyed it. Can't quite get over the way the book looks like that. It's as if you made a sculpture with it, then did a lightpainting. I have a tendency to sit with art that I see and reflect on it. 😂
I was sitting at my dinner table with that book and playing with the pages. The Light Painting was already in the back of my head but I was undoubtedly not rushing it. Then the shapes started to form in a way I liked it. Then I was super motivated to do the Light Painting right away.
Lightpainting has altered how I see, so I get how it's in the back of your head. It starts with playing around. Really cool.
Now there's a good idea, well executed!
Wow, happy about comments and reactions like that .. hehe. Had this in my head for a loooong time but never got around it. Then looking at the "Genesis" book and seeing the double sided pages made all the difference. The double-size pages I was able to fold bigger to extend the space without adding extra paper to it. Although I am thinking of doing more just with some sheets of paper.
Maybe you get some cool ideas and play with it.
Wow!
Such a brilliant idea!
Another reason why I love books and light painting so much!!!
Aaaahh thank you very much. Glad you like it!
Yeah you're a freakin legend @gunnarheilmann!
Talk about thinking outside the box (or in this case book...🤣)
Yay! 🤗
