hip hip array, have cast aside my old namesake and gave a concert in honour of it.. read the latest adventure here...
The big bright object in the sky got in the way so I hid it behind one side of what's left of Roche Abbey
The wooden door frame surviving in this derelict building made a great frame for this pan and tilt effect I like to use. This night was cold and the mist created the background seperation for the silhouette.
Lightpainting created in one photographic exposure; this is not a Photoshop creation.
Another trip to my current favourite run down and derelict place with a willing victim aka volunteer...

This is not a mirror, it's an edge of the derelict, top-secret Duga-1 radar antenna, built in 1976 near Chernobyl by the Soviet Defense.
This antenna is huge, around 150 m high (500 ft) by 500 m wide (1700 ft). It aimed at detecting US missile launches, but it only proved effective in one thing: disrupting commercial aviation radio signals! More info on Wikipedia...

Lightpainting in a derelict factory with a dodgy roof flapping around in the wind isn't good for the nerves. The thought of being skewered by falling roof panels isn't very appealling.
This was a quick gun and run visit.
Out and about in an abandoned factory with a fisheye lens and my quadrablaster tool. I wasn't expecting the lighting to work so well but this was about 10 pops of flash with a very patient and stationary fellow lightpainter meant the building lit up nicely.
We travelled to our favourite abandoned factory in Loxley near Sheffield and arrived a little early. At this time of year in the UK, the clocks have sprung forward and it's getting increasingly late at night before I can practice my dark art!
I lined up @neilru75 on the lower left hand third in the frame and tilted the camera being sure to work out where the flashlight beam travels in the frame by panning the camera to the left.
Once happy, I lit a smoke pellet and threw it behind Neil to create seperation from the background and Neil's silhouette.
We had to wait a little while for the smoke to clear before Neil lit up the flashlight and I simultaneously panned the camera across.
This was shot in one photographic exposure as usual but on this occasion it did take quite a few attempts!
