Spinning an orb in the powder store

Last night at Magpie Mine, four lightpainting photographers got together, one of which had travelled all the way from Australia.

 

I've shot this scene before with pretty much the same lighting so it was good to have a Master Orb Spinner to create the orb instead of me with my three left feet and less than perfect circles!

 

This shot was pretty easy for me; all I did was point and shoot. Phil stumbled around in the dark waving an LED panel during the exposure trying to avoid death trap holes on the hilly landscape. Meanwhile, Denis, the master orb spinner, spun his orb and counted to 90 seconds.

 

It was good to witness another lightpainter at work and an absolute pleasure to meet Denis and catch up with Phil and Tim.

 

FYI, this circular structure was a gunpowder store located about 60 metres away from Magpie Mine.

 

Lightpainting shot in one photographic exposure as usual with none of that AI shenanigans!
