Lockdown

Saw this safe down by the goods lift on my way out of the gallery. Had an idea to try another twin placement shot moving the camera mid-exposure but was up against it timewise, with my car already overstaying its welcome in the loading bay outside.

 

Framed around the safe first (at 14mm) and lightpainted it by torchlight with green from the left and orange from high right. Moved the camera, wound the lens out to 10mm and realised I had nothing to spin the orb with. Quick bit of gaffer tape loosely over the end to diffuse the light and another bit as an impromptu cable and it was time to spin.

 

Got the placement just right by absolute luck on the first attempt. Would have liked more of the safe to remain in the pic but chose to shoot something else rather than blow a load of time trying this shot again.

 

Single continuous exposure from the cam + watermark. No photoshop/ no retouch.
