we had a light painting night here in the MacBride house hold.
85 second exposure, ISO 600,
using a small key ring LED ( that my buddy Danny gave me) on a piece of string, i only spun the light for the first 10 seconds then rushed back to light the forest with a torch.
thanks Danny :~)
Just sorting through some pictures and found this and liked it...It's from the "Disney Village" Disneyland Paris.
Light Orb, with sparks coming out from it!
This has given me a few ideas, hopefully they will be put into practice soon!
Circular lights at the top of a tower in a retreat center high in the Alpine Region, photographed at night. There are only four lights, and what you see is reflection/
More fun late night early morning around 3:30 am no moon as the clouds are in pitch black super un easy as i hear large things creeping in the woods to my left and right but be hind the orb is a huge meadow, the kind that you don't want to be in at this time of morning in this dense area
Orange orb's by Kev
Light trails by me making 2 passes in the car.
Rock faces lit by super bright LED torches.
First try at doing a light orb...Didn't have any led lights so used a glow stick...The glow stick I used had been in the freezer so wasn't as bright as it could have been.And the wiggly bits were when I was trying to grab the glow stick at the end.Wind was blowing a gale and about a minute after this the heavens opened and it poured down rain and had me dashing for cover...Definitely will try this again..Fun stuff!!
Well, creating the earth in an orb is tougher than I thought it would be. I have been thinking about doing this for several years and I have finally made it to the point where I am working on a way to do it. THIS, has been just a bit of technical challenge! Actually, it was a technological and programming nightmare to be more precise! Ha! :-) And I am still a long way from where I want it to be. I think about the only way I am going to be able to do this is to get it motorized and timed with the motor. Not sure if I will take it that far yet, but we will see. I really deformed South America there! Ha!
I may work on it a bit more, but I am getting ready to back off a bit from Light Painting Photography for at least a little while. I will still work on it a bit but I am going to focus my attention on some different types of photography that I am interested in. I think I am just a little burnt out on it all right now.
So, I have decided to focus my attention on getting into water drop and astro photography once again, but I will be diving VERY deep into it this time! More info coming soon on that but if water drops or photographing the heavens is of interest you, then you will be interested in what I have in store! :-)
Cheers Everyone!

A caged orb, dyin to get out & glow :-)
Myself & Chillie 63 having a "painting" blast @ Steetley.
Good fun :-)))
This picture also has been taken at the wedding of our friends about a month ago. I'm curious about their reaction. Think, they didn't realize what we did outside while they were dancing.
There has been some minor FHDR processing to the original picture that came out of the camera. Nothing else has been changed or added.
(Unsharp) ball(s) of light in a flying light bulb (inside a ball of light). ;-)
It's a pitty that the flying bulb was shaking in its shoes. So the picture became quite unsharp. As I don't know when another opportunity will arise to trap an orb in a bulb I publish this shot anyway. At least the colours are not too bad.
To see a better example and to find out more about the "flying bulb" technique, checkout "Ulm inside a bulb".
This picture has been taken in a single exposure at the University of Ulm. Later I have rotated the original image 180º, cut it and optimized colours using GIMP. Additionally and against my habit of not modifying any of the pixels in such a picture during postprocessing I applied some minor GIMP filtering ("Künstlerisch - Cartoon") to get a little more contrast and to further improve the unsharp picture. That's it. I hope you like the result. Maybe better attempts of the combination of these two techniques will follow...
HAPPY EASTER!
"Wahweap" is a Paiute Indian word meaning bitter or alkali water.
It is hard to look at this place and think of it as having bitter or alkali water, but at the time that the Paiute Indians gave it this name, this lake was far from existence! The Colorado River flowed through here deep in the canyon that is now filled with water and the water that flowed into it from these baron lands was probably not the best around. I am guessing that it was probably missing the standard fluoride treatment given a lot of public water today as well! ;-)
But no matter what, it is hard not to stand in a place like this and not think about what it must have looked like before the lake, and just how beautifully different it was back then. And is just as hard not to think about just how much this lake and water has given life to this land. Not to mention the controlled regulation of the water flow downstream to some of the best farmlands in the world! All of which were once very desolate areas.
All of the places visited on this trip were simply amazing but each of them had their own magnificent beauty and their own wonderful stories to tell! This place was so very peaceful, quiet, and serene, yet at the same time, hidden dangers were everywhere!

In the style of Denis Smith
Inspired by mention of the little dots that used to herald the switching off of an old CRT television set.
Smile! :-)
Just messing around with the new orb tool a bit more. There is a big storm on it's way so I was rushing trying to get this done. It didn't matter what I tried, I couldn't get the hat on right and the smile was always off a bit! ;-)
When I sat down and went through these photos I kept thinking about the Flickr name of one of my contacts, Absolute Imperfection. In one of her posts to flickr, she talked about how she fell in love with the phrase and concept of being perfectly imperfect! She is such a young girl but yet she has a keen wisdom! :-)
Perfectly Imperfect... that pretty much fits everything! :-) Cheers Absolute Imperfection!
On a side note, the new Light Painting Group, Light Painting Community has been growing quickly! I am really stoked that so many great Light Painters have decided to join in! And just as stoked about the non-light painters that just want to be part of the group as well! Anyone is welcome as long as you agree to a few simple rules, so come join in! :-)

Poor little Swirly orb's getting jealous of that big white ball in the sky!
Wanted to do so much more, but there was too many people with torches wandering around!
Looking back now, I should have climbed over the fence to capture the valley below, not to mention all the people walking back down with their head torches etc! If only I had my thinking hat on.

This is from our adventure in Rhyolite Nevada. It's a beautiful ghost town. We had a lot of fun playing with light. Enjoy.
Austin's idea on the light toy to use. I had no idea it would turn out like this. He is good at making light balls.
Having a bash at some Orbs with a startrail too!
How do you guys get the orbs so neat? I just swung some bunched up fairy lights. Do you wrap them to a stick/pole?
Need to go somewhere darker too!
i finally got to try two new technics tonight that i have been wanting to try for about two months, light orbs and custom white balance :~)
Just about my last spin of the night down on the old jetty at Chemical beach @ Seaham, whilst out n about with Bry, Chillie 63 & Davie K.
A touch of Mg in the mix & some green gel lighting from Chillie, good fun indeed :-))
Test shot straight out of the camera. It's nice to have a one of these torches again. I was very sad when the old one got broken.
This shot is a nod to Denis... aka biskitboy. If it hadn't been for a very kind reply to an email that I sent him after seeing his work on flickr and linking to his web site, I would never have got into flickr and light painting. And, probably put my camera into a dusty box in the roof!
It was he who encouraged me to join flickr and since I have discovered a real love for my camera. This then led me into the lightpainting community here.
From this I can safely say all of you rock. And a big thanks from me for all the encouragement kind comments and support!!
Keep up the great work.
Orbage at the seaside, next to the slippery seaweed and the crashing waves, so I chickened out from my original intention to go out to the half-submerged rocks. Straight out of the camera with custom white balance.
