Grasp.
More leaving it till the last minute tonight and one which came to me whilst half watching the football on tv.
Two tripod positions and a third tripod to spin the blade.
I exposed and positioned the off centre blade rotation first to fall on the left hand third of the frame. Once happy with the positioning and the light form I extended the tripod, swapped lenses and worked on lighting and positioning me. Focused where the light form would be and dialled in the settings for the flash through the beauty dish. I left a marker on the floor and reverted the set up to the beginning.
I fired the shutter and started the blade rotation. One 360 of the blade for each 7 turns of the camera rotation tool until back at the start. I replaced the lens cap, swapped lenses, moved the blade tripod, took up position, removed the lens cap and popped the beauty dish with my spare hand.
A couple of goes and got it spot on.
All shot in complete darkness with minimal edits and a 16:9 crop in Lightroom for mobile.
Happy days.
