Pathway into darkness - Lightpainting on Hive

Hi everyone,

My life finally took a positive turn during May as things became to change here. Efforts start to pay : injuries are healing slowly, money is on the way and depression has gone 😎

I was happy to visit again this location I scouted during April. After a couple of sessions here, I wanted to take a different path in my creative process. I worked again with the stone tunnel and the backlight scanner made by @lacelight 🙏 but I had a different vibe in mind.

1st picture of the session was about playing with trees and sky as it wasn't totally black at the beginning of the session :

521s 35mm f/4 100 ISO

Then, I used a third-arm and off-focus black fiber optic to create a effect of deepth and speed/movement :

254s 35mm f/6.3 100 ISO

284s 35mm f/6.3 100 ISO

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?

Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
