My Light Painting Evolving

[ishamy]

A quick 30 minute trip to do a bit of Troy Paiva esque shoot at a wee scrap yard 30 seconds from where I am just now. Great fun, a few interesting things to soot but most of the rest had already been flattened ready to be shipped out. Here's the first shot

And I know views aren't a huge thing but my thread now has well over 5k... That's immense! Thanks for dropping by everyone!

It is worth viewing, its really cool and unique.

Wow brilliant stuff dude! Really nice shots

Thanks again guys, it's really reassuring hearing peoples thoughts, I do know that it is a bit of a Marmite thing... But it's always good to hear whether good or bad

Another two from the scrapyard trip...

Went out Aurora hunting last night, was huge but not as huge as the cloud covering it was still fun though...

Thanks glad you like.

It's been a while since I have been out Light Painting really, so here's a shot from last weeks excursion up to the War Memorial in Stornoway. Didn't have a great night... my focusing let me down somewhat all my own fault though but you live and learn!

Another from the War Memorial trip. I remember going to the top of this when I was in primary 3, would love to get up to the top again!

Wow, surprised you could get into that VOR, I would've thought those things were sealed tighter than a gnats whotsit seeing as how aircraft navigation depends on them and all.

Stunning photos though, this is one of the best threads on the board.

Some awesome shots

Thanks yes you would think! Just a normal fence with a gate that's unlocked haha.

Some awesome shots

Thanks!

Full moon time again although the weather isn't up to much I managed out for half an hour last night.

An old Airidh (Moor house) that's fallen into disrepair over the years, Yn-467 with purple gel and Canon 540ez with yellow/orange gel, triggered with Yn-602s.

But damn you! Now I have something else to learn how to fail miserably at!!

Thanks! Glad you like, give it a try it's is really good fun. If in doubt just go through the thread as I have tried to put as much info in as possible as well as my Flickr has all the exif of the shots intact so that will give you a rough guide for settings to get started and experiment with

Now a lesson on standing as still as possible for half a minute!

Quality

Have looked through some of the flickr streams you linked and definitely think I'll give it a try... some crazy shots with people rotating the cameras etc.

The wire wool is definitely intriguing me!

 

[ishamy]

Thanks for looking, yes give it a try, so much fun to have!

The first from last nights trip, for those that have come through the thread you may recognize the Airidh (moor house) from a few months ago. Decided on a return trip along the Pentland road, good fun!

All of last nights shots were with my new Tamron 17-50mm, great lens and having the option of going to 2.8 is great for getting star shots without trails (hint at whats to come ) and it's just pin sharp!
