Hey all,

I love reading and checking out all the cool photos on here, and though I would finally post some of my own. Since I have the s2000 all waxed up and ready to sell, I wanted some good photos before she goes.

These were all taken with a single longer exposure of usually about one minute, with camera set on tripod. Most of them were at between ISO 100 to 400, and aperture of f5.6 to f8.0, to make sure the whole scene is very sharp, and there was enough depth of field.

Then you use some flashlights or strobe bursts (lower power about 1/32 or so) to paint in what you want to see. There were a few with waving around some lights or sparklers in the background.

 

Interesting, but you really need to light paint without capturing the people in the pic

 

Yea - the sparklers put out a ton of light, so the option for that would be to hold them further away, and keep moving more. And stop down the aperture another full stop, and maybe use 2 instead of one.

 

^ so go do it

 

How'd you do the clear engine bay w/o showing traces of the hood being open? I'm assuming you opened the hood during the long exposure, then closed it to get this effect? Or did you superimpose or remove any traces of the hood during post?

You definitely get points for style, pretty cool stuff IMO. Mind posting a larger version of #4? I really like the light on the side. Maybe post a pic of the thing you used to create this type of light?

 

The flashlight looked kind of like this but a bit smaller and you can search for "traffic flashlight" or "safety cone light"


And we did some other light painting with steel wool spinning too. This is always fun.

 

whoa! i like that last shot

 

had something similar as my desktop for awhile, don't know where it originated tho



Great stuff OP
