2 bottles of Listerine, and 2 flashes. I just liked the colours. Nuff said.

You can shove your Marmite! ;o)
Quick test with this Instagram thingy that folk keep going on about (thanks for recommending it Jules!). Think this may just be my saviour for my 366 on the days that are a little tricky...

I don't think this one looks as good/cool/smooth as my first one but....I figured how to block the LED from lighting up the room, found a new location to install a hook, rigged a holder for the LED to easily take one off and put a different color on during the exposure (those didn't turn out so well because...)... I just have yet to get any other pattern down but this one. The pointier ones I've done look stupid and more often than not get into a groove where the light just goes back and forth in the same spot. Looks like I've got some more experimenting to do.
After the spin was through, I put the lens cap on, stilled the LED, removed lens cap, set cross-flare filter on the lens for about 5 seconds, then released the exposure. I'd like to know how Pikebubbles did this photo.
Again, if you have any other tips and tricks, I'd love to hear them.
Oh, and I finally created a light painting page on Facebook. Check it out/like it if you want to. Images are always posted to Flickr first, but there are images on Facebook that I never posted here.

Just back from what was an utterly magical Hneymoon with my beautiful wife, Mel. South Africa is such an amazing country.
We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on Safari at the Shamwari game reserve - they do some incredibly important work out there and it was a genuine pleasure to spend some time with all the staff and take in the breathtaking environment that they work in on a daily basis.

Whoa....it is seriously windy today!! I tried to go out earlier this evening to do a few long expos but it was just too darn nasty out there. Just as well I went out earlier to take a few snaps of the choppy seas and the wind-surfers. This is my good buddy Chris Carter doing what he does best. GOING FAST!

Things are going to get pretty tricky from here in due to most of the family having now arrived with us here on Guernsey. So, if I stop uploading for my 366 you will know why. I will still be clicking away though :O)

Note: I’ll be uploading this series in its entirety to my Facebook and Instagram pages throughout January: www.davidgilliver.com
# 2
.
As I celebrate 25 years of photographing miniatures, toys & figurines, I have turned my attention back to one of the subject matters I spent most of my time studying and photographing during my Degree at the Glasgow School of Art: Toy soldiers.
.
For as long as I can remember toy soldiers have fascinated me, and when I discovered the incredible photographs captured by the artist David Levinthal I was blown away. This, in part, led to me documenting many of my childhood toys during my degree in the late 90’s.
.
Playing with toy soldiers was one of my favourite pastimes as a youngster. Children learn so much about life through the act of play, albeit whilst possessing a limited ability to comprehend the real life consequences mirrored within the story lines that are played out.
.
The theme of war is ever present in all of our lives. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not (if we have that luxury) is another matter. It is a constant – an inevitability, like death and taxes.
.
In late 2023 I spent a grand total of ~£30 sourcing hundreds of the cheapest and most generic toy soldiers I could find. I literally bought armies of them.
.
During my degree, I became fascinated by the notion of what happens to a toy when it is entirely removed from its intended use and original context. Just like I did in the late 90’s, I have photographed the figurines individually with nothing but a blank backdrop for company, laying bear the imperfections of each character.
.
I could count on one hand the number of times I have used a ‘filter’ in any of my photography, but for this series it felt somehow necessary. Perhaps because it adds to the sense of drama, perhaps because it helps to mask the fact they are merely toys, I am not entirely sure. But something interesting happened to each image when it was added.
.
I have spent a lot of time carefully editing/refining the figurines that are depicted: perfecting their imperfections. I will upload one image per day from this new series throughout January.

Finally found a bit of time to try and nail my multi-coloured Orbs. A bit too bright perhaps, but progress.

Conditions were a little flat tonight, but managed to time this photo so that I managed to capture some of the sea pouring back into the outdoor swimming pool as the tide was going crazy. Happy enough.
