An evening stood in a old dark railway tunnel with a new toy which turns out to be quite good for light painting with. Shot in one photographic exposure as usual
(Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL; 29.03.2008; 1/80 at f/5; ISO 200; white balance: Auto; focal length: 50 mm)
I have so many challenging shoots planned in the weeks ahead, like building impossible props and digging a 10 foot long trench. It seems unlikely that all of my ideas will work out but I sure will give it a good try. I hear that digging in the rock desert requires heavy machinery...we'll see.
Another addition to my "Sac" series here...freaked me out! I have a silly fear of bathtubs ever since the Rugrats episode where they thing they are going to get sucked down the drain. Bleh.
A new prop is up for sale...http://shadenproductions.com/blog/2010/07/16/the-prop-project-tutus/
The white gelpen was a mistake. I will continue with this it hasn't beaten me yet! Ha!
I had prepared some pages of my sketchbook with rawumber the blue pen I used was water-soluble and bled through the white line but I enjoyed the challenge.

Hi Flickrinos, long time no see.
Not easy to find clear starry skies in Sydney so trying some new stuff with light painting. Not completely loving this photo but learnt a lot and had fun (something about life being about the journey or some crap ... :).
Looking forward to catching up with your 'streams!
For the first shot the lightening was yellowish from the electrical lights they have to light up the ice rink during the evenings. Yesterday the lights were very different. Low sun and also a lot of water on the ice as it was + 7 C.
I turned it around and set clarity to minus 55. Also added some warmth. I liked the textures in the reflections here.
If this is popular I will upload another.. Not sure if it has so much interest but it good training for me:p
(NOTE: All textures were produced in the shot, not photoshop. This piece is very "photoshop-lite" as I only healed a tiny spot near the nose, and adjusted the curves. Everything you see is pretty much on the original file.)
I'm still working out the kinks with this technique and while I like that it's mood is softer than the first shot in the series (the one of my son's face) I am not keen on how the camera autofocused on the glass. That little issue will be fixed next week when I get something less digitally crappy to shoot with (Santa, baby).
I will post another one from this series soon in which there are fewer scratched out parts on the glass. While I think there's something nice about the larger scratched out bits there is still also something about them which bothers me. I am hoping its the focus issue. If not then I'll have to think on it some more. What do you guys think?
The conditions for my intended purpose this day did not materialize as planned. The fall colors had not yet reached their peak and it was fairly windy as well. I decided to experiment with images from a different composition to try a blending technique. So. I took two different exposures, one for the foreground trees, and one for the water. I then replaced the sky for something slightly more favorable, and hand blended the water into the scene. Had a great time all the way around. Now I will have to use these new skills on some images where everything magically works out as I intended! 😂 Thanks for reading all the way through, you rock! 💪🙏👍
