Back on the Night Shift
Well last night was a real pleasure to get back in to the groove and lightpainting again with Tim G in our favourite go to location at the Lime Kiln in the Peak District. This was also the first time out in the wild for a new lightpainting tool, "The Quadrablaster"
This is a camera rotated image using the Quadrablaster. To make the shot, first I lined up Tim in the centre of the frame and fired a test shot. I then started the shot with the aim of shooting all the elements in one photographic exposure. First is the centre part as above and then I replaced the lens cap without ending the exposure. I panned the camera across 45 degrees to the right and rotated the camera minus 45 degrees on it's lens axis. I removed the lens cap and fired the flash again and replaced the lens cap. I repeated this a total of four times through 360 degrees. All in one exposure, job done!
I think maybe the new tool needs a little refinement with some pre-cut gels instead of me having to spend ages trying to tape gels over the flash!
