The Beacon????.
.
.
.
myself.. my very good friend Aaron and our model Sophie and her partner set off to pulpit rock...
a most stunning coastal feature at Portland Bill, located on the southern tip of the Isle of portland in beautiful dorset..
Ever since I first saw this place in images
I have been patiently waiting to shoot here...
Obviously.. With my twist on things.. ????
.
.
.
As always.. I'm hidden behind the model..
(who must stay statue still for the whole exposure)
Radio transmitter in hand linked to the receiver on my camera some 20/30 feet away..
In the other hand one of my Light tubes... Basically a home made lightsaber consisting of a long clear tube with diffuser paper and coloured gel...
In this instance... A milky orange gel with a reflective holographic end.. With the flashlight set to strobe/flashing mode...
and... Something extremely technical and scientific....
.
.
.
An ice fountain cake topper sparkler...
.
.
.
I fire the transmitter... Starting the exposure...
I spin the tube in a circle...
When the 2 seconds is up the exposure stops painting the light into the image...
( imagine setting a timer for two seconds and then turning a brush on a canvas when the timer stops... Lift the brush...painting done ????)
Easy right......? ????
.
.
.
This is one single image..
A 2 second exposure with minimum editing in post production.. Clarity.. Brightness etc...

This is NOT "C. G. I"!!
